“ I like the seamless quality of stone, its physicality, its presence and weight. There is a monumental gravitas even in the small. Its three dimensional sensuality inviting you to run your hands over it, gaze at it, walk around it. When I start sculpting I have an image in mind, call it a feeling or an idea, which is completely fluid and might change completely by the end of the process. It’s about externalizing emotion and sensuality and personal epiphanies, which are inherently difficult to verbalize..
I don’t think good art requires you to intellectualize or abstract your work in a way that is not necessarily a part of the object you are creating. A beautiful object should stand on its own without theorizing about it. Beauty does not need a theory to accompany it. All that having been said, does not prevent one from reflecting on the work once it is complete, where you become the viewer rather than the artist. ”
