I don't want to think too much about how I'm carving and what I'm carving - you are just carving away the excess clay and there's a piece underneath there. And it's kind of like getting out of the way. Maybe that's what the commonality is: It's getting out of the way so that the art can speak.

Erykah BaduMy hair is an aesthetic choiceโฆ At the same time, how you wear your hair is a political statement as well.
