So what you see is a gift, a gift from my wife and myself\u2019s, our gift to her sister and her husband, a gift given on the occasion of their 20th anniversary, a gift, by necessity, wrapped in a very, very<\/i> large box. I think this is the largest single item that either of us have ever had to ship, other than perhaps a car – and other people did that for us. What is this gift? It\u2019s \u201cPetrified Coral\u201d:<\/p>\n

\"petrified<\/p>\n

For scale, it\u2019s the artwork you see on this wall:<\/p>\n

This \u201cPetrified Coral\u201d piece is one of a series that Sandi\u2019s done – one I own:<\/p>\n

\nSandi worked on a third one, but it didn\u2019t work out the way she wanted, so she mutated it into another piece.<\/p>\n

With art this large, normal market forces start to break down. Regardless of what YOU want to pay for it, there\u2019s a certain minimum amount that it costs to ship it, even to store it, so if you\u2019re not willing to pay for it, you can\u2019t play. Worse, Sandi likes working in this scale, but getting good at this scale requires working in this scale, so she\u2019s got to store a lot of large pieces.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re happy to give “Petrified Coral 2\u201d to Sandi\u2019s sister, but we\u2019re also taking this as an exercise in finding out how to ship these large pieces efficiently. The normal USPS or FedEx route seems too expensive, and not even Greyhound could fit it (yes, they ship). But people solve this problem, so we\u2019re doing the research now.
\nIf successful, then I\u2019m sure Sandi would be happy to ship a large artwork to YOU.<\/p>\n

(But not Petrified Coral 1. That one\u2019s MINE.)
