Recently I have been working in the country, where, carving in the open air, I find sculpture more natural than in a London studio, but it needs bigger dimensions. A large piece of stone or wood placed almost anywhere at random in a field, orchard, or garden, immediately looks right and inspiring.

A sculptor is a person obsessed with the form and the shape of things, and it's not just Ihe shape of any one thing, but the shape of any thing and everything.

There is a right physical size for every idea.

The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.

A work can have in it a pent-up energy, an intense life of its own, independent of the subject it may represent.

The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.

A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things, a poet in words, a musician by sounds.
