Thank you, Harry, for taking the time to leave a considered comment. It's always great to get feedback when an article cannects.

I, too, was at University in the 1980s 😊 though it was called a Polytechnic back then, and Beuys was one of a handful of artists that changed my perception of what art was. I wrote a piece about his piece, Plight, that really 'spoke' to me back then, which may also be of interest?

...and I also wrote about the process involving a wild Coyote (which may be the wolf piece you recall?)

I also like artists that challenge, especially when they leave me a little disquieted and baffled.
