When I was doing Photojournalism 🙄, I was in Brussel for an exhibition of Brancusi.
Something to think about:
On this occasion, I'd be drawn to agreeing with the critics.
Craft ability, i.e. the ability to work with tools in order to fashion objects does not imply that doing so is the same thing as creating an art object. A series of gross, shiny penises (peni? :-) ) is not, of itself, art, any more than a set of alloy wheels needs be art, but some, indeed, are works of art, though not the ones on my current car.
It's the old story: sometimes you can create art, but often you just create product. We photographers, if honest, know that only too well.
