Simms was talking about being a good observer, so I asked him if observing was a skill that could be taught. Listening to his responses, and reading his expressions, I can't help but wonder about his relationship with his teachers, and his relationship with his students. How were those relationships different?
The sculpture you can see in the background, through the car window, is his second version of Jonah and the Whale, a subject he executed at least three times. There are a number of parallels between Simms' story and Jonah's story.
