that, folks, is one of the most beautiful pieces of art i've seen in a long time. i'll give a hundred pesos to the first person to send me a hydrophone recording of that lake on a windy day!
maybe larry is a very, very sensitive man, and things like that upset him. there was (is?) a man in south-east london known as 'eat shit dave', by virtue of the fact that he had 'eat shit' tattooed on his forehead. if there were two tills free at tesco's, he was on one, and someone without 'eat shit' on their forehead on the other, i know which one i'd choose. it's an extreme case, but looked at dispassionately, what's the difference? if we're honest, we all make small decisions every day - some conscious, some not - about things like clothing, make-up, smell, accent, gender, weight, attitude, number of people in a group, the noise they're making, whether they have kids with them, what class they seem to belong to (a british hang up that pervades society), etc etc. sounds to me like larry was being honest...
if you've thoroughly washed the cucumber, what's wrong with eating the part you've become intimate with? i would have thought there were less bacteria on it after that than if you had just rinsed it under the tap...
your guilt is a complex and profound twist on an already complex issue.
Anthony - burning the flesh out of the investment would probably leave too much residue even at 1400 degrees, so you'd get inclusions in the silver, or just areas missing. also going through the lost-wax process means you can sculpt exactly what you need to happen - i have a feeling that an octopus tentacle wouldn't cooperate that well. it also means you can make copies...
silver is usually cast in a centrifuge to make sure it gets right into the investment - the amounts used for a ring. are too small to ensure gravity feed :)
jesus, that almost cut his foot right off!
