Laurence Petrone

'I am a sculptor and historian. I put objects, words and thoughts together, they make me speak. In this speaking, I start from the sensory characteristics of things. I attune this to the qualities of a space. Both define each other and shape my artistic practice together with my apprenticeship of everything and everyone I recognise as a teacher. I write about them and about what I consider to be defining to sculpture in my book De Onversnedenheid. Over Sculptuur als Belichaamde Denking [The Uncut. On Sculpture as Embodied Thinking].' (Laurence Petrone)
