All Art Is An Abstraction

If I Set Out To Sculpt A Standing Man And It Becomes A Lying Woman, I Know I Am Making Art.

I Would Like My Work To Be Thought Of As A Celebration Of Life And Nature.

Nothing Raises The Price Of A Blessing Like Its Removal; Whereas, It Was Its Continuance Which Should Have Taught Us Its Value. [it Is Wise To Be Grateful Of What We Have While We Have It.]

Never Think Of The Surface Except As An Extension Of A Volume.

If An Artist Tries Consciously To Do Something To Others, It Is To Stretch Their Eyes, Their Thoughts, To Something They Would Not See Or Feel If The Artist Had Not Done It. To Do This, He Has To Stretch His Own First.
