A Piece Of Sculpture Can

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

The Observation Of Nature Is Part Of An Artist's Life, It Enlarges His Form [and] Knowledge, Keeps Him Fresh And From Working Only By Formula, And Feeds Inspiration.

I Think, What Has This Day Brought Me, And What Have I Given It?

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.

I Think About Sculpture All The Time. I Work At It For Ten To Twelve Hours A Day. I Even Dream About It. If As A Result I Was Only To Produce Something That Everyone Immediately Understood I Would't Have Been Thinking Very Profoundly.
