I was taught bronze sculptors used uric acid to get that traditional green patina. In other words, they pee'd on their statues ... and that way developed deep bonds with their work.

Urine touch with your work?

“You preachers of equality, the tyrannomania of impotence clamors thus out of you for equality: your most secret ambitions to be tyrants thus shroud themselves in words of virtue. Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

First thing that came to my mind, was if the sculptor was having problems of some kind with his future masterpiece, would he get upset and say, "Piss on it!"

Lol. (lol)
