I don’t have any hobbies. I have few friends, most of whom are artists, but they are all dear to me. I love Olive and Henry and I love my wife Theresa immensely. I make objects, mostly furniture, but on occasion when I’m pissed off at the world I make social/political jewelry—I haven’t done that in a while. It’s not that I’m not pissed off, look at Wisconsin the past five years; I just haven’t made time…more excuses than time. I received an incredible education at UW–Madison under the tutelage of Fred Fenster and Lisa Gralnick, they have helped me so much to grow and live as an artist; priceless really. Rick Judd a
