Being as truthful as I can.there were no thunderbolts that happen to
me either,
my work now resembles what I did in high school, but with a big
difference
from the important learning acquired in Art School after, which was,
what the
individuality of design balance is to me, now, and the freedom to
explore
relationships of forms from the essence of things rather than the
literality of
them, from two great sculptor teachers. Not what they taught, but
what they
made possible for me to learn.

That was my point -- the rarity of thunderbolts -- and that's why
critics/curators/experts should not be expected to deliver good
judgments
within unfamiliar/unloved genres.
Absent judgment -- all the critic can offer is a kind of
descriptive taxonomy
-- like the reviews found in "Art in America".
