"Unable to read or write, he taught himself to form these sculptures using wooden structures at their core wrapped in mink or barbed wire, covered in layers of cement..."

I want to understand how in the world did this man come to the decision process of using either mink or barbed wire? Seems like concrete must adhere to them both quite well?

It’s aluminum/zinc wire or wire mesh from the Illinois Mink Wire company. Not made of minks.

This explains... a lot. I thought he hunted them and used their carcasses.
