Memorable Quotes
“His work is sculpture, but it’s negative space sculpture in that you look at it and, well, that horse’s ribcage isn’t complete. You know, it’s just, it’s. But your negative space allows it, you know, to fill in.” Darrell Beauchamp
“Well, you talk about the passion. I was unfamiliar with both of those artists. But I saw that passion in their work.” – Tom Fox
“It’s a beautiful way of looking at, how do you get action and how do you get emotion from a piece of sculpture when it’s not all there? The negative space, especially since he works in a lot of primary colors that works in brighten reds and yellows and blues, and, and it’s, it’s just a step away from all that tradition enough.” – Darrell Beauchamp
