left life question work
But I don't think you really question the work. The work is there, it' s made, it's got it's own character, it's got it's own life and it's left you.
sculpture viewers
So, in other words, how you respond to a sculpture, how a viewer sees the sculpture, is vital.
nice moving cutting
Steel is such a nice material to use. It can move. It's terribly easy, you just stick it or you cut it off, and bang! you're there: it's so direct. I think Manet was very direct, he didn't prepare his canvases like Courbet, he just put paint straight on and it's very like that with steel.
