ROGER ROTHSTEIN
I usually think of a collage as a more 2D type of sculpture. My roots as a sculptor are tied to my youth of drawing with an Etch A Sketch, origami and building with Lego blocks. I arrived at sculpting with food somehow from Japanese garnishing arts, carving pumpkins and making gingerbread men.
