A sculptor speaks for his time.
His imagery stems from the creative mind.
Projected outward it becomes a meeting between the creator and the spectator it reaches.
 
Creativity has always existed. But the artist today, isolated as never before, never tried his [[strikethrough]] own [[/strikethrough]] private symbols. He descends into his own consciousness and often his subconscious self, for the images he projects. And so this imagery may be toward obscure or unintelligible, [[strikethrough]] without [[/strikethrough]] and may demand an effort toward understanding. 

The forms of today have often been thought determined by the materials and methods used to produce them (as is welding, direct metal sculpture, etc.) But it seems to me more likely that these may rather have been chosen to fulfill the sculptors' need to explore space, in ways not permitted by clay, bronze or stone, as well as to explore hitherto unexpressed sensations. So I believe not that sculptures are limited and bound by their materials but that they chose them in the first place.

In conclusion I would say that if our time has made a contribution in sculpture it would be in the employment of the space - concept: space in and around the image, having its own energy and intelligence.
