This is my first sculpture. I was four or five, in preschool or kindergarten. The rest of the class made blobs and smily snowman-heads and kitties whose tails promptly broke off.

I didn't.

I was an early reader, and my mom had all these art books (she's a painter) and I thought Henry Moore and Isamu Noguchi and modern sculptors like that were cool. So I set out to create the most possible hollow space, the most holes, the most hole-ness, with the least amount of clay. (For the record, it has seven).

Now it looks tiny, even delicate. How BIG it looked to me then! Monumental.

No wonder--I wasn't much bigger than it.
