Sculpture Quotes
I really don't have a theme when I start a sculpture. The rock guides me to the final sculpture. I think that is true for many creative sculpture artists.

Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.
Damien Hirst
Whether you listen to a piece of music, or a poem, or look at a picture or a jug, or a piece of sculpture, what matters about it is not what it has in common with others of its kind, but what is singularly its own.
Basil Bunting
Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.
Frank Zappa
Art works because it appeals to certain faculties of the mind. Music depends on details of the auditory system, painting and sculpture on the visual system. Poetry and literature depend on language.
