Take a relief. You draw it, you carve it out. Later you build it up from a flat surface. There is no other way to do a sculpture - you either add or you subtract.

I'm not a sculptor; I'm a hard-edged model maker. You give me a drawing, you give me a prop to replicate, you give me a crane, scaffolding, parts from 'Star Wars' - especially parts from 'Star Wars' - I can do this stuff all day long. It's exactly how I made my living for 15 years.
Sculpture occupies real space like we do... you walk around it and relate to it almost as another person or another object.
Sculpture is made with two instruments and some supports and pretty air.
A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things, a poet in words, a musician by sounds.
Some psychiatrist told me I was interested in sculpture because I dealt in flat surfaces and needed something with dimension.
At a certain point, I just put the building and the art impulse together. I decided that building was a legitimate way to make sculpture.
A sculpture is just a painting cut out and stood up somewhere.
Sculpture is something you bump into when you back up to look at a painting.
It's extremely difficult to say what one actually means by 'sculpture' other than, in a provisional sense, it's something that goes on the floor or a pedestal, and loosely applies to a certain history of the use of that term.
There are two kinds of sculptures. There's the kind that subtracts: Michelangelo starts with a block of marble and chips away. And then there is the kind that adds, building with clay, piling it on. The way I write novels is to keep piling on and piling on and piling on.
