My need to obsessively cut can sometimes outweigh the composition of the piece, so I am often left with piles of abandoned cuttings &#8211; lost bones, moths, fungi, feathers, coral, shells and butterfly wings. Eventually these too will find a place to reside.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Yessssssssss.<\/em> Okay, I have to go cut stuff out.
