“A sculptor does not draw as a painter. The first one builds, the other one encloses” Claudie Judrin
“Un dessin de sculpteur”, Abstract from “Rodin, Le musée et ses collections” - 1996

“Whatever may be his stroke, the sculptor voluntarily searches space or volume” Claudie Judrin.

“It doesn’t matter to profile a face, a hand or a foot; it only matters movement, attitude, posture” Claudie Judrin.

“I have not a sketch which I respect strictly. I begin my work removing the greatest volumes with the angle grinder. Afterwards I work with the pneumatic hammer. Immediately I “get in touch” with the deepness of the block and I begin to visualize the shape I want”.
Norma D’Ippolito.

“There is a moment almost “magic” where I feel that a sculpture emerges from the stone”.
Norma D’Ippolito.

“Then I must use the files and dry or wet sandpaper. I do not like to do this with a machine because I need to assess how light slides, one of my greatest concerns”.
Norma D’Ippolito.
