The spheres, are first of all perfect, magical forms and I break them apart to search out their states of internal fermentation, mysterious and alive, monstrous and pure; I set up a contrast to their smooth and polished parts, a discordant tension, a completeness made out of things that are incomplete. This very same act is a way of freeing myself from an absolute form. I destroy it. But also multiply it. Sculpture for me is a process of excavation and relief, without defining a space, and without establishing a centre.
