art museums metropolitan
They are works of art that can be considered works of art but don't have to be in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum.
strong art people
A strong work of art really leaves people speechless. They feel a little angry because they don't understand it.
views ecosystems differences
Landscape to me is a planar thing, just a view. Environment is everything down to the ecosystem. Big difference.
simple profound type
The type of work I like is pure and simple and profound.
art static
I make static art, not dynamic art. That's what I do.
commitment thinking space
I think size is the most unused quotient in the sculptor's repertoire because it requires lots of commitment and time. To me it's the best tool. With size you get space and atmosphere: atmosphere becomes volume. You stand in the shape, in the zone.
earth source materials
Earth is the material with the most potential because it is the original source material.
