The First Hole Made Through A Piece

Between Beauty Of Expression And Power Of Expression There Is A Difference Of Function. The First Aims At Pleasing The Senses, The Second Has A Spiritual Vitality Which For Me Is More Moving And Goes Deeper Than The Senses.

People Think That They See, But They Don't.

I Find Drawing A Useful Outlet For Ideas For Which There Is Not Time Enough To Realize As Sculpture... And I Sometimes Draw Just For Its Own Enjoyment.

Recently I Have Been Working In The Country, Where, Carving In The Open Air, I Find Sculpture More Natural Than In A London Studio, But It Needs Bigger Dimensions. A Large Piece Of Stone Or Wood Placed Almost Anywhere At Random In A Field, Orchard, Or Garden, Immediately Looks Right And Inspiring.

One Never Knows What Each Day Is Going To Bring. The Important Thing Is To Be Open And Ready For It.
