Work I make in my studio has a sense that the form was struggled for there are traces of the hand, of tool marks. All of that stuff is retained in the casting. The work has to have vitality. People have to sense that. Playfulness and spontaneity have to carry over.
Intimate thought projected on large scale is exciting.
2 Untitled , 2000. Aluminum, 2.69 x 4.98 x 2.13 meters. Work installed at Middleton Place, Charleston. It is always rewarding, and I think it opens you up. This example is upturned and sunk on end into the brick plaza, some 100 feet away from the multi-figure sculpture, which is large and abstracted, with blocky, colliding forms at eye level and one limb that reaches 24 feet high.
