Specialist note

“Making sculpture involves not only changing the form and the meaning of the material but also, oneself ... The popular and unhelpfully simplifying dichotomies of form and context, ugly and beautiful, of abstract and figurative, expressive and conceptual, dissolve into a free solution, out of which a new form with a new meaning can crystallize.”
-Tony Cragg
