In
1995 I studied sculpture with Laci de Gerenday at the Lyme Academy of
Fine Art. I asked him his opinion of a technical approach to sculpture
of which I had learned. He listened patiently and in his gentle soft
tone, with a twinkle in his failing eyes, he replied, "David ... feeling is the most
important thing". This was good advice.
Sometimes
people ask why I leave a tool mark, or don't add additional detail, and so
forth. After years of experience, I now believe that when a painting or
sculpture becomes fully effective to stop work. Any changes from the fully
effective state invariably spoil, or otherwise diminish, the piece's
impact. |
