"Twelve Angry Fishermen"
shows the backs of twelve fisherman in a row, standing on the dock and peeing into the
sea. To me that's a great work of the imagination, before beginning to think of the cod
moratorium, or even without taking into consideration that the piece is similar in shape
and composition to Leonardo's Last Supper, though not as large. Ben's a practicing
Catholic. In studio two, a forty-six-foot sperm-whale skeleton in progress hangs from the
ceiling. Detailed plans for the skeleton are tacked to the wall like Michelangelo's plans
for the Sistine Chapel.
