Sculpture and three-dimensional work

Sculpture exists in the same space as the body that made it and the body that encounters it — this is what separates it from other visual arts and gives it a particular intimacy and weight. To make three-dimensional work is to negotiate with gravity, with material resistance, with the fact that the work will be seen from angles the maker did not intend and cannot control. There is a humility required by sculpture that other forms can avoid: the work occupies the world, and the world is indifferent to the maker's intentions.
