Marianne has often said to others, “I can teach you to ‘see’, and then
you can draw (or sculpt) the figure.It is our 'knowing' that most often interferes with seeing what
is actually before us – if that 'knowing' can be discarded, the
foreshortened arm, the hand, the foot, the head, all become a series of
shapes to be recorded without preconception or judgment."
