Back and forth Quote by Julie Taymor

“When I'm sculpting, I work with wood and clay, and though some say that an image is already in the material and the sculptor just has to discover it, I also believe you have an image in your head that you're trying to get to. So you're in a dialogue with the piece, a back-and-forth.” quote by Julie Taymor — Download Open image
