“Yes, but it will be beautiful!” *LINK*

I think in some ways this is what we as woodturners do.
“I try to have my work be at once aesthetically appealing and yet also conceptually challenging. I love to tell the story of my elderly Cajun grandmother in Louisiana. Once I found her in the garden spray-painting a camellia bush in bright silver enamel. Thinking that she had lost her mind and didn’t know what she was doing, I warned her that she would kill the bush, to which she replied, “Yes, but it will be beautiful!” I think in a lot of ways that describes my approach to beauty. I am compelled to create my own beauty out of the already beautiful.”
