Description
I thought about my friends, myself, and the nice punk next door whose car is always broken. All the best people I know are disabled, autistic, annoying women, vague queers with poor credit score, difficult and lovely people. How would it be if one of us ended up on a pedestal?
I wanted to do it properly. I had to learn to draw, measure, build, estimate angles and distances, know the properties of materials and use a wide range of different magical skills. Making a monument can’t be easy, it must be a show of effort.
