Lot Essay

I want someone to look at a sculpture of mine and know that everything is intentional, and to do that in a way thats not academic or fussy. And I think that someone can really feel that in a work, you know, you just feel when something is realized and when its not. You need a kind of philosophical distance from the work because these are objects of philosophy (Tony Matelli in an interview with Howie Chen, March 2011).
