Sculpture is more divine, and more like Nature,
That fashions all her works in high relief,
And that is Sculpture. This vast ball, the Earth,
Was moulded out of clay, and baked in fire;
Men, women, and all animals that breathe
Are statues, and not paintings.
(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

Talk to the Lifeless
...................................................
The stone unhewn and cold
Becomes a living mould,
The more the marble wastes
The more the statue grows.

News on Sculpture
...................................................
They showed you a statue and told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
But they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done
(Billy Joel)
