Going from the written, flat word to the three-dimensional object, that was one of the more enriching things that I've done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Three-dimensional results are important to me. I did once spend some time just writing, and floating around, and I lost my mind a little bit. I wasn't so good at that.
I've always been passionate about geometry and the study of three-dimensional forms.
Height, width, and depth are the three phenomena which I must transfer into one plane to form the abstract surface of the picture, and thus to protect myself from the infinity of space.
As an architect, I learned to think and express myself on flat forms, on paper, and to imagine the contour of the lines of a design.
It became clear to me that I had to push it toward a more representational way of drawing.
Once the object has been constructed, I have a tendency to discover in it, transformed and displaced, images, impressions, facts which have deeply moved me.
Hence it is that the shape of something is especially meaningful.
Some psychiatrist told me I was interested in sculpture because I dealt in flat surfaces and needed something with dimension.
It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms.
I've always been thinking in three dimensions, ever since I started working with computer animation in the early '80s.
