besides all the obvious ‘plastic’ reasons, educated art world check list – fulfilled . . .
\nthis piece really provoked, and thrilled me – on first glance.
\nprovoked my imagination, and kidnapped my earth-bound existence and took me to another dimension . . at first sight . . might be<\/strong> the better way to say it.<\/p>\n

the very definition of trans-formational . . this piece is so<\/strong> radical, you just want to pick it up by its weight lifter’s heart, and fling it outward with strong arm, no doubt – right back – at the unknown<\/em> but magical universe – from which it sprung !! <\/p>\n

this is the kind of piece that wherever it finds itself, and it looks mighty easy to set down, anywhere – another beautiful feather in its multi-feathered cap, that says: things are NOT what they seem. there is<\/strong> more to life, to existence, to life, to magic, to stones, to bones, to light . . . than we can ever imagine.<\/p>\n

it is a resting bowl of concrete that contains a fire of . . crystal.<\/p>\n

yep, that good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
