“Those in pain will choose to remain in pain

until it rises to such a level it can no longer

be ignored. Change will then emerge.”

– Doug Kelsey

Junior Fritz Jacquet, a 30 year-old French artist, describes himself as

a ‘creator and sculptor in paper.’ These gargoyles made from toilet paper tubes

sell for 60 euros each. I say Jacquet might be Wizard Academy’s brand of crazy.

What say you?

“Here and there exclamation marks stuck out of the ground, sharp needles piercing the scenery. Whenever my gaze caught on them, my eyelids began to quiver; the eye cut itself on those wooden structures erected in the fields, on their boundaries, or at the edge of the forest. In total there were eight of them in the Plateau, I knew the exact figure, because I’d had dealings with them in the past, like Don Quixote with the windmills. They were knocked together out of wooden beams, set crosswise; they consisted entirely of crosses. These grotesque figures had four legs and a cabin with embrasures on top. Pulpits, for hunting. This name has always amazed and angered me. For what on earth was taught from that sort of pulpit? What sort of Gospel was preached? Isn’t it the height of arrogance, isn’t it a diabolical idea to call a place from which one kills a pulpit?”

- Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, p. 54, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
