Grrrrr! No! (you've wound me up now, you bastard, swifty!)

On your list, Nige, nothing *actually*, *intrinsically* radiates power except for the microwave. A projection of one's own emotions and experiences upon and object can create a *sense* of power, but the object in itself has no means to do this. Isn't this the mystery what makes art art? And why we are all so intrigued by big old rocks in the landscape?

There are works of art that have the power to stop me in my tracks, make me sob uncontrollably, and talk to the most secret parts of my mind, but ultimately all they are are canvas and pigments and oils. It's the 'je ne sais quoi' created by the artist coupled with one's own input that creates the magic and power.
