There I was carving a block of cheese,

There I was carving a block of cheese, spontaneously, after some members of the audience volunteered to mess up the block before I got started. I invited anyone to do that in order to prove that I did not have a predetermined design for the finished sculpture. When they were through with their destruction and had tasted the scrapes of cheese, I took over and did not repair or replace what they had done. I simply continued to take away cheese by cutting, slitting, gouging and shaping, etc. That's what I do. The location was the Rain nightclub at the Palms, a fundraiser. - Sam Chinkes
