I watched the Tom Sachs interview with Adam Savage and found it really interesting how Sachs first got into using machinery in college. Growing up, his parents weren’t big on drills or tools, but once he started taking classes, his interest in them really took off.
I like how all the art pieces he created have a personal story behind them, like how he sculpted a clay camera because his dad always wanted one or how his odd fascination with guns led him to sculpturing one as well. It was also surprising to hear that Sach has about 10 assistants working for him. I didn’t realize artists could have that many people helping them on an art piece!
