I have just received the final approval for the medallion design for the International Union for the conservation of Nature (IUCN). When completed it will be a 4" bronze medal which will be struck at a mind and not cast in a foundry. The process is similar: Create a master, reduce the master and cut a die and than strike the coin. It is an exciting project and I am eager to get underway. The only distraction is that believe it or not its supposed to be in the 70's today!
The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture
and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug; it
is a particular state when everything happens very quickly,
a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness, of fear
and pleasure; it’s a little like making love, the physical
act of love.

That is fantastic! Good luck, and I look forward to seeing the final piece.
What is a "mind" in this case? Is it a typo and if it isn't what is it? How is it different than a foundry?
