There seems to be a radical detachment from the Trinity of rarity, collectability, and desirability.

Interesting to a small segment of collectors but not overly...
You just don't appreciate the artists intent of juxtaposing the "unaltered" state of nature against the pool cue which represents the rape of nature by both killing rare and exotic trees, then drying their corpses like beef jerky before cutting and carving them up into tragic reminders or the...
