Five Signs You May Be an Unrecognized Genius*
1. You collect lost paper airplanes, note their findspot and date of discovery, and accession them into your hoard archive.
2. Gourds speak to you on a deep level.
3. To you, toilet-paper rolls are not recycling, but rather display socles for tiny sculptures, ones that speak of loss and time.
4. The tiny sculptures in #3 are old eggshells.
5. You consider yourself (and quite possibly, are) the world’s leading authority on string figures.
Paper airplanes collected by Harry Smith on the streets of New York City, newly arrived with his archive at the Getty Research Institute.
