Sculpture and Mixed Media -- 20 Sites n Years

20 Sites n Years

Tom Phillips, RA
Sculpture and Mixed Media

Of all my work this humdrum epic is the one that affords me most delight.  Since it has its own momentum and has moved out of even my temporary control (for I am now merely its provisional functionary) I can say how beautiful and moving I find it, and how I feel it transcends the sum of its intriguing parts.  With what wit I discover it combines the quotidian with the mystical in an unlooked for alchemy of chance!  I serve it gladly: it is a masterpiece that consists entirely of its own conservation: neglect it and it dies, or becomes at most a fragment, the foot of an abandoned colossus.
