Harold Balazs and I had partnered on a sculpture garden for an elementary school near Fairbanks, Alaska. My contribution included
a life-size bronze, Sedna the Mermaid, and I was there to install her. She’d arrived by truck, and she was heavy. So I found a janitor who could help me unload her. Together, we got the crate onto the ground. As we started to unpack it, he took one look inside and blurted out,
“You can see her goddamn tits!” Right then, I knew I was in trouble.
