Alberto Alessi & Frank Gehry

"When the artists and sculptors I know are working, there is always an element of play involved. They experiment, try things out. A slightly naïve and infantile way of doing things, like children playing in a sandbox. Scientists work in a similar way. It's like casting away baggage until one is free to follow ideas, rather than seeking to see where one is headed."
