expressive intervention to a minimum in works that all begin with

Kuehn says his sculpture is the result of a process and a procedure
and any suggestion of a particular representation is secondary,
unintentional,
and unavoidable. "Each work derives from an observation, a
feeling,
and an intuitive sensing — transformed, compact, complete, and
beyond language. It is sometimes said that biography plays a part
in every artist’s work. This I neither affirm nor deny."
