Catalogue Note
Insisto molto nell'affermare che la superficie della scultura va letta attentamente e lentamente, anche se poco prima hai visto le forme d'insieme come essenzialmente geometriche e monumentali (...). I dettagli in rilievo e le superfici lucidate a specchio donano molto alla visuale dell'osservatore, catturando e mantenendo fissa l'attenzione. (...). Voglio veramente che le persone percepiscano le mie opere in modo intimo oltre che nella loro forma monumentale.
I insist that the sculpture surfaces be read carefully and slowly, even though just a moment before you saw the ensamble forms as essentially geometric and monumental (...) The detail in relief and the mirror polished surface give the viewer a great deal to look at, to capture and hold the eye. (...). I really want people to feel the works on an intimate basis as well as to see them monumentally.
