To Know One Thing, You Must Know

The Secret Of Life Is To Have A Task, Something You Devote Your Entire Life To, Something You Bring Everything To, Every Minute Of The Day For The Rest Of Your Life. And The Most Important Thing Is, It Must Be Something You Cannot Possibly Do.

All Art Is An Abstraction To Some Degree.

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.

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.

You Must Always Be Open To Your Luck. You Cannot Force It, But You Can Recognize It.
