Sculpting is molding materials into a new form. When it comes to sculpting metal, the metal has to go through a cleansing process, like baptism or being born again, in order to be transformed into something new. The same is true for the artist who makes such creations. Some may say that artist just make art for the sake of making art, but that idea is dated and superficial, artist create because it causes a renewing of their person and a change of their spirit. The saying, "It's not how you start out, but it is how you finish," might seem cliché, but this is the key to art and the artist, both the material and creator begin one way, but they are, by the end, renewed into something more ethereal.
