Yep... must be a knob polisher... and in more ways than one.... because of all the great looking Ferrari's and he chooses to model one that looks like a motorised skateboard

Oh well... whatever pushes the right buttons for him... each to their own

Exactly, there's no logical reasoning to his work, it doesn't have to be understood. He says his dream was to recreate the sound of the engine, but that doesn't explain the whole package. It's a work of art, a very odd one perhaps,  but some art is very odd. This work is about the process as well as the result. 20 years..... a very long process!
