All Art Is An Abstraction To Some

I Find In All The Artists That I Admire Most A Disturbing Element, A Distortion, Giving Evidence Of A Struggle . . . . In Great Art, This Conflict Is Hidden, It Is Unresolved. All That Is Bursting With Energy Is Disturbing - Not Perfect.

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.

Sculpture Is An Art Of The Open Air... I Would Rather Have A Piece Of My Sculpture Put In A Landscape, Almost Any Landscape, Than In, Or On, The Most Beautiful Building I Know.

Talking About One's Work Releases The Energy And Tension To Do And Make.

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.
