The main reason for any good art is to make the viewer's brain tick, to cause wonder, to interact with the viewer. Someone wise has said "there is two kinds of art, the one you use to decorate your home and the other kind, which is good art (thus too powerfull to be part of a calm home)" Richard Goowin is one of the artists, who want to rattle the viewer, to make a statement, to make the viewer think. Choosing this material for his sculpture made you think, eh?
