Message from a Sculptor

I just wanted you people to realize that I am creating art and that the art I create has a name and should be discussed in that way. So when you say “thing” (which no one has, yes granted), that is dismissive and prejorative in my personal opinion. And My personal Opinion is what is important in art or otherwise I would do something like perform a service like work in a shelter or something or do some kind of a menial and silly task that anyone could do like sweeping or washing or something like that. Mechanic. But I am not so please term my work “the Cruicible of Disadvantage.” I realize that this is a distressing term, or well, I figure it must be since I am underlINING what some of you may consider and inconvenient and uncomfortably revealing situation which has befallen some of the people you crush beneath yourselves and so forth. However, I call it that. People call it “Sammy” and are calling me “Sammy’s Dad.” Now, yes, people say this smiling and I have gotten a number of free dinners and several sexual experiences based on the general overwhelmingly positive response to my work, but I would like you to know that is the CRUICIBLE OF DISADVANTAGE. I will not be calling it the “c of d” if that is something you would prefer to “Sammy” and I will not be calling it the “CRUICBLE” or just “DISADVANTAGE” because taken separately, these words mean separate things. And I appreciate that “We heart Sammy” t-shirts are all the rage in the city and that Dr. Allen Framewright is granting me a cabin in Michigan to use as another kind of a retreat and yes I can report that Barak Obama and the Obama family are very interesting and that Michelle Obama tells an amusing joke and perhaps I misled all of them with my unresponsiveness but I am not the person who created SAMMY, I am the person who created the CRUCIBLE OF DISADVANTAGE, not “THE CRUICIBLE OF DISADVANTAGE” COMMA “SAMMY” because that is NOT IT’S NAME.

 

This is my message to the world.

 

Yours truly,

Sculptor
