If you think that you find it hard finding a space to carve....Andrew Wodzianski's 'Self Portrait of the artist as Ishmael'

I just saw an article about this piece of performance art by Andrew Wodzianski, called 'Self portrait of the artist as Ishmael'. He sat on a replica coffin floating in a swimming pool for 36 hours to replicate the end of the novel 'Moby Dick' and also managed to produce what looks like a pretty decent carving on it in the meantime! Hats off to Mr Wodzianski for his endurance.
Obviously not a man worried about his carving tools getting rusty.

(Apparently, that's not him carrying the coffin in the picture above)
