“I consider space to be a material. The articulation of space has come to take precedence over other concerns. I attempt to use sculptural form to make space distinct.” The sculptures work to manipulate space, successfully transforming the gallery physically and socially.
'As a sculptor, Serra continues to be interested in critical interventions in social space. On a very immediate level, the generally open atmosphere of a gallery is eliminated. The structures consume the space and break it up, rendering it unfamiliar.'

Perhaps I am interested in rendering the domestic unfamiliar; disrupting a private, intimate and personal space to deliver it in an uncommon and challenging form in a very public space?
