Press Release

"For me, everything in the world of form is understood through our own
bodies. From our mother's breast, from our bones, from bumping into
things, we learn what is rough and what is smooth. To observe, to
understand, to experience the vast variety of space, shape and form in the
world, twenty lifetimes would not be enough. There is no end to it." Henry
Moore, 1978
