my hobby creating houses out of matches.
[{"role": "system", "content": "David Mach (born 18 March 1956 in Methil, Fife) is a Scottish sculptor and installation artist. Mach's artistic style is based on flowing assemblages of mass-produced objects. Typically these include magazines,vicious teddy bears,newspapers, car tyres, match sticks and coat hangers. Many of his installations are temporary and constructed in public spaces. One example of his early magazine pieces, \"Adding Fuel to the Fire\", was an installation assembled from an old truck and several cars surrounded and subsumed by about 100 tons of magazines, individually arranged to create the impression that the vehicles were being caught in an explosion of flames and billowing smoke. An early influential sculpture was \"Polaris,\" exhibited outside the Royal Festival Hall, South Bank Centre, London in 1983. This consisted of some 6000 car tyres arranged as a lifesize replica of a Polaris submarine. Mach intended it as a protest against the nuclear arms race meant to stir controversy. A member of the public who took exception to the piece tried to burn it down; unfortunately, he got caught in the flames himself and suffered fatal burns. In the early 1980s Mach started to produce some smaller-scale works assembled out of unstruck match sticks.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I have been bored lately, and decided to start building houses out of matchsticks!

Also, about Polaris, it was interesting because it was made from 6000 car tires arranged as a life size replica of a Polaris submarine!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Holy cow!  Well, I have 4 car tires - it's a start, right??"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hey, you never know! Give it a shot. In the early 1980s, Mach produced some smaller scale works that were assembled out of unstruck match sticks as well! So even he started out small!"}]
