Quote
“Tom Friedman’s sculptural works radically modify our view of things. Small and fragile, made of mundane, frequently expendable materials, they evoke meditation on the interconnectedness of natural and industrial worlds, even suggesting that the human mind, body, and inanimate things are all involved in the same process of transmutation.”
