I love his work, though seeing the anvil behind him where he gives books a whack made me gasp, but he does acknowledge the iconoclastic nature of his work. Then we see how at the same time he honors the book by these wonderful creations.

I am always amazed at what gems you find, but shouldn't be, because you are consistently a great explorer.

I'd love to see a video of him making something, like the Andy Goldsworthy documentary (Rivers and Tides), where you just say "wow".
