was what i was immediately asked. out of all the building materials i had available it seemed like rather an odd call. I remember during my tutor session that it had been an early question. lacking the funds, resources and time of Ai Wei Wei but still trying to achieve that level of awe was challenging but ultimately nails are a good source to use. i mean yes they are cheap and plentiful from an art perspective.
But go deeper than that. Nails are many, forgotten, hidden away, we use them and ignore them. They are needed and are everywhere yet we don't care for them despite the fact that they are essential. We lose them and replace them without thought. There is an irony to this and a relation to the Refugees.
That is why i chose nails.
