ARTIST'S STATEMENT I conceive my art as sculpture. It communicates through Its tactile shapes and Human warmed materials. Brute matter that has been In dialogue through Our hands and eyes From before our age began. Ropes and sticks and rawhide, Copper, vines and chains, Stones, tarred felt and tea-leaves. Bronze to strengthen our self-images. The themes that run throughout The art are windows, edges, cycles. Books and songs and deconstructed Shapes. The body's inner prison. dm Spaulding
