		<description><![CDATA[
During a conversation with the theologian Tom Ravetz yesterday evening, he described what I was doing as drawing in three dimensions.  This statement struck me because of its perception and aptness to describe what I do or rather not do when working.  Generally a sculptor draws out his ideas before working.  At least I have [...]]]></description>

Moire from YouWorkForThem on Vimeo.
Organisation. I have a deep fascination, indeed need for organisation. We perceive the universe as organised, whether we think holistically or in a dialectic way. I do not mean in a teleologically sense but as a spontaneous falling into place, an inherent ordering of things, as opposed to a state of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How does your photographic work relate to recent sculptures?
In both mediums I use the respective technique to reveal elements of time and form. With the pinhole photography the very long exposures accumulate successive images of the subject to form a single representation over a period of time. Detail becomes form loosing its particularity of information [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Why do you leave the fired clay unglazed?
Glazing has a primarily practical function with decorative potential, it speaks of ceramics. I am not concerned with decorating the works, neither do they have a specific function like that of carrying water. I do not glaze because I want to show that the work is conceived as [...]]]></description>

In conversation with Carla Lonzi in 1967 Pino Pascali said,
Primitive man, the man who walks naked, notices that the sun rises to the right of a particular mountain and sets to the left of a particular tree. The same man, walking through the forest, discovers that the sun [...]]]></description>

Is Symmetry a formal concern of yours in planning a work?
Symmetry is an all pervading concept. It lies at the root of all things physical and metaphysical. From poetry to physics, symmetry is the underlying principal by which we are able to see pattern and direction in the universe. From poetic justice to geometry we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You call your works sculpture but they are clearly modelled, should they not be called models?
Two roads exist leading to the same goal. Brancusi took the sculptural one when he carved directly into the material. Rodin on the other hand modelled his works leaving the stone carving or casting to craftsmen. In both cases an [...]]]></description>

Traditional dances feasts and adorations of Baraka. from Daniel CDMs™ on Vimeo.
Why do you cite tribal art as a parallel for your work?
Tribal art is direct. It awakes and connects with the imagination in a naked way. The maker is known within his (it is usually a male) community but becomes anonymous further afield. The [...]]]></description>
