專家說明

‘Sculpture, of all the objects that human beings deem necessary to make their lives more livable, belongs for several reasons in a rare and extraordinary class of its own. Rare, because even just looked at quantitatively, very few kilograms of sculpture are made on an average day, while many billions of tonnes are made into more “useful” things. Extraordinary, because although sculpture remains for human thoughts and emotions. It is the attempt not just to project intelligence into material, but also, to use material to think with … in the same way we forget to celebrate life, and moreover the value of human life, we tend to forget that the projection of intelligence into materials is, even seen on a universal level, indeed a rare occurrence’ (T. Cragg, quoted in Tony Cragg: Signs of Life, Dusseldorf 2003, p. 456).
