Once upon a time
There was a pig who spoke eight languages
&
did sculptures with pieces of wood
&
rusted metal
he found on his travels.
One day he was out in the woods working
on a new installation piece
&
he met a family from a small town
in Tennessee.
They had been walking for days.
The dad saw the pig and said
“What are you doing, little piggy?”
They were quite surprised when the pig said
“Working with counterbalanced forces using found objects.”
They all stood around and looked at the piece for a long time.
No one said anything.
Finally, the dad shrugged turned to the mom
&
said, “I don’t know much about art but I know what I like.”
&
then they killed the pig
&
ate him.
Hero’s fable.
The motto?
Take what is freely given.
Give what is freely accepted.
Hic Rhodus! Hic salta!
