Quotes.

  experience in something as innocent as color.

Fact for Fun!!!!

• Why did he became a sculptor rather than a
  painter. He responded, "Because I had been a
  basketball player." He explained that in
  basketball one relies on peripheral vision to
  pass or receive the ball to or from teammates on
  either side or even behind. A sculptor needs far
  more peripheral vision than a painter, for in
  sculpting one must be aware simultaneously of the
  many sides of a sculpture. Sculpture is more of a
  hands on experience you truly get to feel the art
  in your finger tips. You can create something
  from scratch, something meaningless into
  something outstanding and full of power.
