Never Think Of The Surface Except As

I Have Always Been Very Interested In Landscape... I Find That All Natural Forms Are A Source Of Unending Interest - Tree Trunks, The Growth Of Branches From The Trunk, Each Finding Its Own Individual Air-space.

A Work Can Have In It A Pent-up Energy, An Intense Life Of Its Own, Independent Of The Subject It May Represent.

Now I Really Make The Little Idea From Clay, And I Hold It In My Hand. I Can Turn It, Look At It From Underneath, See It From One View, Hold It Against The Sky, Imagine It Any Size I Like, And Really Be In Control Almost Like God Creating Something.

Never Think Of The Surface Except As An Extension Of A Volume.

If I Set Out To Sculpt A Standing Man And It Becomes A Lying Woman, I Know I Am Making Art.
