Sculptor / Sculpture

Every man is the builder of a temple, called his body, to the god he worships, after a style peculiarly his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones - Henry David Thoreau

It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work - Henry Moore

You do not make sculpture because you like wood. That is absurd. You make sculpture because the wood allows you to express something that another material does not allow you to - Louise Bourgeois

Sculpture, by its nature, is a thing. The sculptor is dealing with space itself, rather than the illusion of space - George Rickey
