Sun Tzu-Nami is about the plight of the modern day craft artist (among other purely aesthetic aspects and ideologies). Sun Tzu is the Chinese philosopher who compiled the book that is referred to as The Art of War, which is a collection of the writings of many Chinese martial artists. I take the liberty here of adding parenthetically my thoughts to some quotes from the book as they may apply to my way of thinking about craft art over a period of thirty years of practice. …It is a matter of life and death, a road either to
safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry, which can on no
account be neglected. I've always admired Reuben Nakian's sculpture titled Olympia , which deals with other subject matter but is related formally to this piece, offering inspiration regarding balance and proportion in sculpture. |
