No.35: Adventures in Empathy. He had always loved Paul Klee's 1922 watercolour, Twittering Machine. One day, in the course of painting an oversize copy of it to keep in his studio, he suddenly became what he beheld.

No. 34: Ah Sunflower! It was a momentary madness. He took out a huge loan, and had three gigantic sunflowers fabricated in plastic. He also commissioned a vast white vase from a local ceramicist. When he assembled the piece, it looked more like a tropical hut than a sculpture. He was hoping for a kind of Jeff Koonsian experience, but ended by being George Sanders in The Moon and Sixpence.

No.33: Blockage. For several weeks now, he had been carving low-relief images of animals into the sides of massive wooden crates. His aim was to use them to make giant woodblock prints.

No. 32. Green Pepper Way. Every day when he walked to Tabletop Studio, he would pass an enormous ceramic green pepper on the way. It was bigger than he was. It troubled him greatly.

No. 31: Pride Goeth Before a Flaw. Sometimes his intermittent Rodin complex led him to attempt heroic sculpture. But whenever he entered what he suspected was really the realm of hubris, he felt ridiculous. Moments after this photo was taken, he took a massive sledgehammer and pounded his new Jeanne d''Arc into powder.
