QOTD:

This pot is just so goddamn ugly, it’s got to be art.

Woodworker James Krenov, in an oral history interview conducted for the Smithsonian Institution Archives of American Art. The transcript is an interesting look at the "art scene" and the opinions and opinionations that seem to get one regarded as an old master, both in the art world and in the subset that is woodworking. Krenov's work is inspiration for a lot of people, and even though I find his style somewhat ungainly and spindly, I want to take a look at his books.
