Quotes

• “I would like to make sculpture that would rise from water and tower in the air- that carried conviction and vision that had not existed before..”
• “I want sculpture to show the wonder of man, that flowing water, rocks, cloudsvegetation have for the man in peace who glories in existence.. .Its existence will be its statement”
• “It will say that in peace we have time that a man has vision, has been fed, has worked....That hands and minds and tools and material made a symbol to the elevation of vision”
• “this vision cannot be of a single mind – a single concept, it is a small tooth in the gear of man....which to each man, one at a time, offers a marvel of close communion”
• “Gravitation is the only logical factor a sculptor has to contend with.”
• “An arrogant independence to create is my only motivation.”
