'A completely fresh wind'

摘要

May I see your hands? I would have expected more callouses and grazes from sculpting. "Not if you do it properly. I do have a bruise under my thumbnail, but that's because it got trapped in a door". The contrast between expressing Ideas in stone and harnessing wind energy could hardly be greater. Was that a conscious decision? "They have more in common that you might think. Conducting research properly is a slow process. You need inspiration, but also you need to put in the hours and practice. In both cases, the challenge is to create a polished result. A publication, an experiment and the maths should all be beautiful - elegant, with all superfluities removed. There really are more similarities between sculpture and research than you might expect".
