"In 1913, the same year as the New York Armory Show, the physicist Niels Bohr correctly described the structure of the hydrogen atom. My sculpture, Notes from Niels Bohr, marks this period of great change, when classical mechanics gave way to quantum mechanics, realism in painting and sculpture yielded to Cubism, and the village blacksmith's anvil was replaced by the assembly line. We had entered the Nuclear Age before having given up the reins of our horse drawn carriages."

From "Spirit of the Object" a project of The Coalition of Independent Artists, Inc. March 1992
