'Sculpture is a function of space. I don't mean the space outside the form, which surrounds the volume and in which the forms live, but the space generated by the forms, which lives within them and which is more effective the more unoticeably it acts. You could compare it to the breath that swells and contracts forms that opens up their space - inaccessible to and hidden from the outside world to view. I do not see it as something abstract, but a reality as solid as the volume that envelops it.' (E. Chillida, 'Aphorismen' quoted in Chillida, exh. cat. Berlin 1991, p. 118)
