Richard Serra

To draw is to make a record of the process of seeing.

My work is not about an object; it's about a relationship to a space.

Weight is a value. It's not a metaphor.

Sculpture is a three-dimensional experience, not a two-dimensional representation.

I'm interested in the experience of looking, not in the object itself.

The viewer is an integral part of the work.

My work is not about beauty. It's about experience.

I'm interested in the physical properties of materials.

The site is not a background; it's an active component of the work.

My work is about the process of making, not the finished product.

I'm interested in the tension between gravity and form.

The scale of the work is crucial to its impact.

My work is not meant to be decorative.

I'm interested in the psychological effect of space.

The material dictates the form.

My work is about confronting the viewer.

I'm interested in the experience of walking through a space.

The viewer's movement is part of the work.

My work is not about illusion.

I'm interested in the directness of experience.
