| I don't have access to what thoughts look like. I can only represent thinking with the imagery I do have access to. The feeling I'm trying to describe is of things moving, being pushed and shifted, more how thoughts and feelings, move and interact within and between us, rather than what they look like as objects. | I don't have access to what thoughts look like.

| Working with what we have. The magic of my sculpture games was using whatever materials were available and seeing how people imbue them with meaning as they animate them. Everyday material things have a richness and openess of meaning and use that abstract representations of thinking don't have. Every material thing in the space was in play, which with the right mixture of materials and personalities brought out and manifested the tensions in the field in a really concrete visual way. There weren’t any pre-defined rules or goals that pitted people against each other, but people developed ideas about how they wanted the space to look. So the materials were pushed, pulled, moved and arranged this way then that, animated by different peoples intentions. | Working with what we have.
