Fag Friday 3 (Wenquin Chen, Specimens 2007 )

''In a transparent glass square box there are nearly 500,000 cigarettes. On the black pedestal there are many smoked cigarettes. All the cigarette in the box, because of the time, tobacco was changing: Damp, moldy, and blackening, has a qualitative change, in turn, the question mark for the issues of cigarettes and human life.''

"The bird roost does not where to be possible to seek, the leaf falls there is no root to go back to.” which is a Chinese proverb. I am thinking the most intrepid ecology sometimes also is very frail; it can be destroyed by people felling and destroying tree. '' Wenqin Chen
Wenqin does very varied sculpture, I will be featuring some more of his work next month.
