Perrin van der Velde

Perrin van der Velde has a grudge against collectors who arrange display cases by color and call the result a geological system, and argues that host rock, formation, and provenance belong beside every polished specimen. Long retired from backstage theatre work that involved resetting scenery around a descending staircase, Perrin now quarrels with anyone who removes a plain stone from the front row because it makes the case look less impressive.
