The artist in me appreciates the creative process she is pursuing, but
the scientist in me totally cringes that she used (destroyed) the
meteorite itself as her medium and completely transformed the meteorite
into something else: a metal sculpture. She could have done the same
thing with the silicon mold by pouring plain ole molten metal and
preserved the meteorite intact. In the end, I would choose the universe
created version.

For a less invasive original meteorite art display, check out my new
Meteorman pen&ink/color drawing with a lunar rock fragment
embellishment, listed on ebay:

Thought you all might find this conceptual art project interesting:

Seems like a shame to me that she chose a naturally beautiful specimen
with which to do this. If it was a rusty hunk of shrapnel to begin with,
somehow I wouldn't feel so bad. But I did get a chuckle out of seeing
her marvel over fresh saw marks.

BTW, I'm in the market for a large Campo for myself....but not the one
in the video, please! Contact me off list with any offers.
