This practice, which the artist himself calls \"sculpture as place,\" allows the viewer to experience his works not as objects, but in their relationship to their environment. When actually confronted, the presence of the materials, such as the luster and rust of the metal, the grain of the wood, and the weight of the stone, emerge richly from within the inorganic impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis book begins with an installation view and includes representative sculptures as well as poems composed of fragmented words typed on a typewriter. Thoughts spanning literature, art, history, and politics are unfolded with a spatial and structural sense.
