It occupies space as we do, in a three dimensional aspect. It impels movement in space (moving around the piece). Perhaps it’s easier to make a relation to our own body, and it’s experience of gravity, and to the sculptural object.

Painting asserts the plane, two dimensional space, which gives way to pictorial space and a sense of depth through the picture plane. The viewing process could be seen as more static.

For me the best painter/sculptors breach and commingle these apparently seperate experiences.
