Marco Maggi
Page 270
This guy is awesome. First of all, who thinks of petrifying an apple. That s an amazing and awesome idea. I love the humility this guy shows, which explains why it is one of the subjects of the article. The writer did a great job of explaining just how much painstaking work went into his pieces. I think my favorite part about Marco Maggi is that he achieved success at age twelve and immediately denied it to work on other things. I appreciate that a rejection of the modern world is the basis of his work however he takes the complete opposite approach I do. Like him, I try to reject the the basic outlook that society now shares of bigger is better and newer is better. However Maggi chooses not to get angry and instead of rejecting it or making a rejection of it his theme or motif, he simply chooses to ignore it. I cannot do this. I believe that there is a basic process:
Rejection
Destruction
Reflection
Reconstruction.
Most of all I would like to emulate the way he does exercises in the morning to always further hone his skills. That, to me, is just awesome.
