I recon there’s more sculpting going on one since the second half of the 20th
century than ever before, and generally the artists aren’t doing still life, at
best they’re making statements with abstractions. Sometimes it’s just showing
off welding skills.

my lizard brain.

Penone is a genius. And judging by the shavings pile, also apparently a man of
great patience even by Galoot standards.
