Off Subject: A J Fosik

Aj Fosik is one of the few artists, thus far, whose work I have seen up close and personal. My friend had been raving to me about an acquaintance who owned a Fosik which was reportedly 'just laying around on the floor'. The context of this remark was simply a commentary on how amazing it must be to have a limitless budget for contemporary art. True, true. I am supremely jealous of the owners of the Fosik I encountered (which was at that point in time respectfully displayed). The artist's work is amazingly detailed, incredibley fresh, and dangerously imaginative. I bow down. BTW his sculptures are primarily created with wood.

Now, can I do that with clay?
