Titled: 'What I always Wanted' Description: Solid black
soapstone, 48 x 20 x 18 inches, 165 lbs. Completed 1971-1973,
Montreal, $180,000 John Urban.
'This substantial work took me just over two years to complete,
starting in 1971, working six hours a day, 5 days a week. Every
single hole is sanded and polished smooth on the inside, where it is
also bigger than it's opening would suggest. The sculpture is meant
to be understood by exploring its surfaces - feeling its smooth
contours, most especially the various craters. This sculpture is
based on the idea of organic consciousness. A region of the Mind -
my mind - your mind - our mind.'
