“I go to the sculpture, and my eye tells me what is right for me. When I compose, I don’t have anything but the material, myself, and an assistant...Somet.mes s it’s the material that takes over; somet.mes s it’s me that takes over. I permit them to play, like a seesaw. I use action and counteraction, like in music, all the t.mes . Action and counteraction. It was always a relationship—my speaking to the wood and the wood speaking back to me.”

- Louise Nevelson
