I enjoy how physical effort has to be put into this work every two weeks, repeating the process to keep the image crisps. I feel this process can be compared to how dancers train, with the tedious process and effort to produce the pieces. This image is also paying homage to the past artists as well.

Barbara Hepworth
"Full sculptural expression is spatial - it is the three-dimensional realization of an idea, either by mass or by space construction. The materials for sculpture are unlimited in their variety of quality, tenseness and aliveness. But for the imaginative idea to be fully and freely projected into stone, wood or any plastic substance, a complete sensibility to material - an understanding of its inherent quality and character - is required. There must be a perfect unity between the idea, the substance and the dimension: this unity gives scale... Vitality is not a physical, organic attribute of sculpture - it is a spiritual inner life."
"'Abstract' is a word which is now most frequently used to express only the type of the outer form of a work of art; this makes it difficult to use it in relation to the spiritual vitality or inner life which is the real sculpture. Abstract sculptural qualities are found in good sculpture of all time, but it is significant that contemporary sculpture and painting have become abstract in thought and concept. As the sculptural idea is in itself unfettered and unlimited and can choose its own forms, the vital concept selects the form and substance of its expression quite unconsciously."

Peter Callesen was heavily influenced by the most famous ballet dancer Anna Pavlova , in-particular to the piece called the dying swan. The swan being symbolic to the pure , the grace and the delicate beauty whereas as he used the duckling to symbolize his personal struggle and frustration at himself.
