mode" In fact traditional drawing is at the heart of all Southey's work whether it's etching painting or sculpture He said he doesn't have a primary medium "If there were a primary medium I would tend to say drawing and painting but I do all of them with about equal enthusiasm and I would say skill Some people argue about that though" Sculpture is the medium that Southey said excites him "To be able to work in the round like that and to be able to draw a whole variety of ingredients into it — I have a real hunger to do that I tend artist but perhaps advertising graphic design or teaching three-dimension- See -
