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."
