“Look, it all started with iron, you know. The piece I have next to me is made of iron. The earth contains iron. Right? There's iron in our veins. There's iron in the landscape. The earth is deep within us. In the veins — it flows in the veins. Blood is full of iron.”

It's a living organism, as you can see. So people, as in previous works with Delcy, like in Dia Chelsea, where I last saw her work in New York, people come again and again.”
