"Making sculpture for public spaces forces the artist to confront the question of what it means to take his or her ideas out of the art gallery or museum, where they exist in a certain context, and put them out in the world, where the work has to define itself. Under these circumstances the connection you can have with the public has a lot of uncertainty about it, but that's what makes it an interesting challenge."
--Martin Puryear
