A Peculiar Dream

Małgorzata Chodakowska Chodakowska’s works are intended only in part for sale. In 2005 he discovered that while he loved his art, he also enjoyed living with his sculptures.

Well, Shakespeare, he’s in the alley

With his pointed shoes and his bells

Speaking to some French girl

Who says she knows me well

And I would send a message

To find out if she’s talked

But the post office has been stolen

And the mailbox is locked

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blues again

— Bob Dylan

I just had a peculiar dream.

My body was a pile of rocks, but still sentient.

Each pile could communicate with other such piles of rocks by clicking and clacking different rocks together forming something resembling language.

— Richard Green
