'Space must be conceived in terms of plastic volume, instead of being fixed with the help of lines onto the imaginary surface of the paper. I am unable to imagine it other than in three dimensions. That is the way form acquires its structure. Form springs spontaneously from the needs of the space that builds its dwelling like an animal in its shell. Just like this animal, I am also an architect of the void' (E. Chillida, quoted in Chillida 1948-1998, exh. cat., Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofiá, Madrid, 1998, p. 62).
