Thanks a lot. I'm now writing a work on Egyptian art and this video was really very helpful for me! Glad to have come across this post in the web today.
intereting topic, but maybe the audio quality is a bit low.
I felt overwhelmed watching this video, which is weird for me as I feel like it only happens once in a blue moon. I love the fact that the art piece is made out of yellow jasper, and that we can see the outer part of the polished jasper, neater, cleaner; and as for the inside, we can see the unpolished jasper, darker and aggressive. This gave made me see the piece as the true self of someone. We can easily see the difference between their inner self and the facade.

I like the video, Sister Wendy spoke perfectly, I could follow her very well and made me interested in the subject. I'd love to see one day the exposition at the MET. Moreover, I liked the comparison she made between both parts of the sculpture and the world or, either way, how we see things: ideal perfection and reality. The contrast between the breaking, raw part and the beautifully polished part of the jasper. - CB

This was such an interesting video! I loved Sister Wendy's opinions and thoughts and overall view on this specific piece of art. The contrast between the outside/polished part of the piece and the inside/broken un-polished one is an excellent portray of reality and life, beautiful and raw!
It was an interesting video. The idea of a perfect outside and a wild, unpolished inside is fascinating and quite beautiful. It's a perfect metaphor for humans.
