...molding just a thin surface of geometric shapes Nivola is able to keep the sculpture light and at the same time project it easily into large dimensions. "My dream," he says "is to make sculpture as big as buildings." Because he does not favor mere ornament or decoration, the relation between his sculpture and architecture is very close.
