Lot Essay

"You could argue that sculpture is a dramatization of the space between your eye and the world, between looking and recording, between that you see and feel and memory. I try to allow as much as possible to happen while I'm working on the piece and yet keep it contained within a single object. That seems to get the most truthful results."
- T. Houseago, quoted in R. Rosenfield Lafo, "Speaking: A Conversation with Thomas Houseago," Sculpture, November 2010, p. 29.
