"My work both responds to and tries to reinforce the human capacity for wonder... Obviously we can’t rebuild the monuments of the ancient world, but we can aspire to re-evoke, in however modern a world, some of the enduring and perhaps renewable sensations of amazement, even awe."

-- Beverly Pepper (quoted in Beverly Pepper, Curvae in Curvae (exhibition catalogue), Marlborough Fine Art, London, 2014)
