That is the effect of my sculptures in the public domain: people are making contact with each other again.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am not a performer but occasionally I deliberately work in a public context. Some sculptures need the movement of people around them to work.
The thing with sculpture is, 90% of the time, when I pass a piece of sculpture, it's in public or somewhere, and it's just, how inconvenient that that's there. It takes up so much room, and it's so oppressive.
My art became very public.
My sculptures cause an uproar, astonishment, and put a smile on your face.
People always say that my work is sensational or shocking but there are truly shocking things you could do, and my sculptures don't go anywhere near that.
I want people to get inspired by public space - their space. People tend to forget about it because they do the daily thing, but putting up these sculptures breaks the routine.
I love my sculptures, and I was lucky I had them for 50 years because no one would look at them, and I really liked having them around.
Even though the museums guarding their precious property fence everything off, in my own studio, I made them so you and I could walk in and around, and among these sculptures.
Sculpture occupies real space like we do... you walk around it and relate to it almost as another person or another object.
Sculpture is something you bump into when you back up to look at a painting.
