I was trying to imagine a fitting end. Having them gradually disappear from a barn in the country seems sort of perfect. Nobi — that’s so … beautiful. I was trying to imagine a fitting end.

It's regressive and intimate. The oil was sprayed everyday onto the boardwalk placed in the middle of the sugar-covered floor, but the sculpture wasn't scented. I wanted the fragrance to literally spread out to the streets using the foot traffic. Some people reported to me later that the scent had stayed on their shoes for nearly a year. What happened to the sculpture? It's gone. All the sugar sculptures I made including the one in the movie don't exist any more. They were in good shape while I kept them in my studio in Brooklyn. The studio was on the third floor of a industrial building. There were some drug dealers but no bugs. Later, I moved them to my barn in the country, and there they gradually disappeared.

I have questions. Did I miss it, or in there somewhere did you mention what the fragrance was like? Did you use the fragrance oil in the sculpture itself? And what happened to the sculpture after the exhibition? This was fascinating. I have questions. Did I miss it, or in there somewhere did you mention what the fragrance was like?

But finding someone to pay for it is not. Being an artist is sometimes a pain. Your are always looking for someone to pay for your ridiculous experiments.

My mind boggles at 50 kg of fragrance oil. You could swim in that! Or sink, I suppose. My browsers don't like Quicktime, but the exhibit sounds wonderful. Must have been fun obtaining the sugar!
