  • “If a piece is joined together, it is still operative in space. It doesnʼt mean that it is not about the ambient space. Because, at least in my work, I don't think that the narrative is necessarily within the piece, it's how you as a perceiver respond to the sculpture and how you see it in space.”
    — Joel Shapiro
