A Sculptor Is A Person Who Is

All The Arts Are Based On The Senses. What They Do For The Person Who Practices Them, And Also The Persons Interested In Them, Is Make That Particular Sense More Active And More Acute.

There Is A Right Physical Size For Every Idea.

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.

Now I Really Make The Little Idea From Clay, And I Hold It In My Hand. I Can Turn It, Look At It From Underneath, See It From One View, Hold It Against The Sky, Imagine It Any Size I Like, And Really Be In Control Almost Like God Creating Something.

The Creative Habit Is Like A Drug. The Particular Obsession Changes, But The Excitement, The Thrill Of Your Creation Lasts.
