    1. Thank you! This week I learned that the attraction people feel for slightly exagerated and yet recognizable human form is purely natural (BBC documentary "How Art Made the World") and immediatly thought of my own work...of how I exaggerate and elongate my figures to an almost abstract level...apparently it's not just my artistic taste, but a deeper, innate tendency we humans seem to have. If you're interested, it's the first episode of the above mentioned documentary series.
