"The material, its form, its properties and dimensions influence and limit my sculpting. Work processes must remain visible and mustn't be blurred by others. My treatment of the material determines the object itself and its relation to the new location."
Ulrich Rückriem, quoted from: Kritisches Lexikon der Gegenwartskunst, Munich 1988, p. 6.
