The work itself has a complete circle of meaning and counterpoint. And without your involvement as a viewer, there is no story.
From Anish Kapoor
I think I understand something about space. I think the job of a sculptor is spatial as much as it is to do with form.
What interests me is the sense of the darkness that we carry within us, the darkness that's akin to one of the principal subjects of the sublime - terror.
Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form.
Sculpture occupies the same space as your body.
We live in a fractured world. I've always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness.
What one does in the studio is to pose a series of problems to oneself. I've got to look for some deeper meaning, for some reason for this thing to be in the world. There's enough stuff in the world.
The idea is that the object has a language unto itself.
All ideas grow out of other ideas.
I've always felt that if one was going to take seriously this vocation as an artist, you have to get beyond that decorative facade.
