About This Video
Two things Van read in a book. The first comes from Mr. Edison: opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. The second: America has three principal archetypes. The cowboy. The warrior. The inventor.
The revolving tool wall is the set piece, but the video's real content is compressed into those two quotations and the workshop footage that follows. Van is a good-enough artist, not a perfectionist. The distinction matters. Perfectionism is not up to us. The excellent standard and the good-enough standard are. Everything on that wall earns its place by getting used.
