We are living in a non-linear time, where things happen simultaneously in different places. We are also in what seems to be a period of transition, partly caused by the shift from one millennium to another. If one asks the question, what is sculpture today?, it is not possible to give a simple answer. Ernst Gombrich, in his enormously successful book The Story of Art, Stated: 'there is not art, only artists,' so perhaps it is feasible to follow him and say, 'there is no sculpture, only sculptures.'
The enormous array of materials, forms, techniques and concepts that have been presented under the term 'sculpture' indicate that the discipline is no longer an immutable art form with fixed boundaries and rules.
