water Worship...form Worship


Water.  However it comes, torrential rain or spring shower, it is still one of the four or five greatest ideas to have ever been conceived.  As a concept and a creation it is a definitive declaration of A Creative ONE.  That level of creativity is worthy of our worship.  As an artist I am continually aware of the difficulty of making art, a creative concept plus exquisite execution.  Art just doesn’t spontaneously occur or evolve over time and water is to rain what form is to sculpture.  Because form is so profound, we as sculptors realize that sculpture is just an infinitesimal small response of gratitude for forms existence.
