I love the idea of a communal workforce that I learned of in El Anatsui's working method from Art 21. It is so amazing to me to have an artist employ other people. That is so beautiful. In this video, I see the lids that are included and that is a little different from some of the other pieces in that the sight of the parts brings up the idea of a jagged-ness to something that looks like fabric in a way.

Jon Keppel: I, too, saw that Art-21 video that you mentioned when on an art-themed rabbit-hole here on AdTube a couple/few weeks ago!

His work is beautiful, but this video needs English subtitles. It's hard to understand what he is saying.

nate Rodas: I, personally, had no trouble understanding him. He articulated his thoughts and explanations better than most of my fellow contemporary Americans for whom English is allegedly their first language.
