    I think that this piece will age well. Of course there is no way to tell, but think the initial reviews will fade. Then again, I'm wrong a lot.

    I really appreciated hearing more on his perspective and artistic approach. From looking at his other work, i think he's executed the photo-to-sculpture appraoch well in other pieces. But that approach just didn't work for the MLK piece. Obv i just dont like the look of it.
    But the real problem is that the piece is only comprehensible and enjoyable from one vantage point. Kind of defeats the purpose of using a large-scale 3D medium.

    Horrible kitsch, I feel sorry for whoever lives there. The person that gave the OK for the monstrosity needs to be checked for mental illness.

    Terrific artist. However, this piece is terrible. It's a silly, incomplete concept and it just doesn't work well on an aesthetic, symbolic or analogical level. Its just strange. He should have came up with something else, because I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to view it.

      “Doesn’t work well on the aesthetics” it makes my eyes wanna throw up
