"I never work by variations; formal development does not appeal to me. Each sculpture is self-contained. I could call it a crude whole, a broad sweep: my sculptures each fill a hole; the hole of the unfamiliar, the unknown; what interests me is discovering the holes."

Rosemarie Trockel quoted from an interview with Doris von Drateln, Endlich ahnen, nicht nur wissen, Kunstforum Bd. 93, March 1988, p. 214.
