That freedom that Picasso afforded himself, to be an artist in a huge number of ways, seems to be a huge psychological liberation.

What interests me is the sense of the darkness that we carry within us, the darkness that's akin to one of the principal subjects of the sublime - terror

If sculpture can really deal with the body, because we all inhabit ourselves, and if sculpture can really do that, which it is supposed to be able to do, and through it ask questions, philosophical questions, about being, I think these are all things we work on, all of us in our different ways, so perhaps somewhere in there, there are moments where dumb objects can speak.

I think I understand something about space. I think the job of a sculptor is spatial as much as it is to do with form.
