Art Is To Make Our Lives Richer

Art Is Not To Do With The Practical Side Of Making A Living. It's To Live A Fuller Human Life.

Talking About One's Work Releases The Energy And Tension To Do And Make.

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.

All Good Art Has Contained Both Abstract And Surrealist Elements, Just As It Has Contained Both Classical And Romantic Elements - Order And Surprise, Intellect And Imagination, Conscious And Unconscious. Both Sides Of The Artist's Personality Must Play Their Part.

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.
