At first we thought it was the tear gas, but then it got thicker. … It started getting hot in there. The house was on fire.” - Ramona Africa, lone adult survivor of the 1985 MOVE bombing

Whether you realize it or not, you see the work of the 69-year-old sculptor on a daily basis, and sense, perhaps, the meaning and vibration he’s lent to molding Giudicci clay and forging bronze into shape and form. You become part of (or rail against, if you so choose) his message or spirit; you commune with each piece’s physical heft, its socio-cultural weight or its politicized torpor.  ....
