The emergence of a new form is to be treated with delight and we think reverence. This is because our minds aggressively suppress novelty in favor of pattern. If you actually have the opportunity to come face to face with “the species of the non-species” however brief it may be, you should realize you’ve seen half the truth of this world (!?). The sculpture of John Zane Zappas is full of this unclassifiable, procreative tension — it spurs the most basic and routinely ignored questions: What is happening? What is that? Does it mean something? Merci 🖖.
