For that reason, many artists who are great sculptors and who do not have the sense of monumentality fade away when they deal with urban space. The works of many great sculptors have to be in an interior to have the adequate space. Sculpture should have an internal idea and should conquer exterior space, which are two completely different things. When you make a monumental sculpture, you need to be aware of the sense of what is monumental, and that is very difficult. It is a process of discovery and reflection on the forms and dimensions and how the thing that you are working can become a monument.
Nobody makes a monumental sculpture in one step.
You look at a small sculpture and it has to have the characteristics of monumentality. I like very much a story about Rodin. To keep his sense of monumentality alive, he kept a small Assyrian lion nearby. He looked between the legs of the lion, and he felt like he was inside an enormous cathedral. It has nothing to do with size.
