When I posted about the artist Vik Muniz a few days ago I wrote primarily about his collaborative film with director Lucy Walker. I feel I didn’t do justice to the general wit of his work.  Like fellow artists Chris Jordan and Mary Ellen Croteau,  Muniz is an ultimate recycler, but his “puckish” personality informs his work, both through his choice of medium (sugar to create shimmering portraits of the children of cane workers on St. Kitts) or visual jokes (Pre-Columbian drip coffee maker).

I could go on, but this may be one of the many cases in life when it’s best to let the man speak for himself.
