- Spring generate flowers. Flowers come out in fields everywhere. I saw a weak little plant in the middle of the desert, fighting between life and death, It also had a little flower, and together being with this flower the creation of a new living. Perhaps we could compare the flower with sculpting which creates shapes, space, metaphors, questions, mysteries. Sculpting has helped man to grow mentally one million years ago, think of the amigdale as an extension of the hand, the first sculpture was a chopper, which was meant as an object for self defence and offence, a stone, which started off history of mankind and art. -
