    Sculpture is one of those hard to define disciplines because its
    contemporary context is more encompassing then the classical 3d work
    made using additive or subtractive processes in the creation of non
    utilitarian object. (which is not a whole definition but I think a
    good simplified one). As a sculptor I run across defining sculpture
    alot because it has become more ambiguous. So I think sculpture could
    be classified as an art object that deals with physical space. This
    encompasses installation work, video, sound installations,
    performance art and a variety of other "interdisciplinary" ways of
    art making. There have even been conceptual works that fall into this
    umbrella that take no physical form as they are just purely
    idea...but that's another thing to get into. 

    I think the most important and exciting thing for me as an artist is
    that I can use what every technique, method or discipline I need to
    in expressing the ideas I want to convey. That is why I choose to get
    my degree as a sculptor because it encompasses and promotes
    interdisciplinary thinking, and leaves you free to seek out the
    techniques to realize your ideas. That's what sculpture should be.
