On March 10th of 2001 I was lucky enough to spend some time with Max Donson and
interview him about his work and his
philosophy. I asked him about the above piece "Seven Dynamics". The
following excerpts are from that
interview

Interview
WinePhilosopher:
One of my favorite pieces is "Seven Dynamics".
For me it invokes the nature of freedom and the elements water and air.
What can you tell us about this piece?
Max Donson:
It is freedom, however there was an intention; it’s full of concaves and
convexes. And that’s the way of
matter, energy, space, and time. There is no straight line anywhere, even space
curves. So I hear.
WP:
They now say in quantum physics that time and light curve and do not
travel or move in a straight line.
Max:
I don’t know of anything that is straight, it’s always, as I said
before in motion and transition. This particular piece is not representational
of anything, anyone, anywhere, it’s diamond shaped overall. However, with it’s concaves and convexes everywhere, it’s just pleasant to flow, and to travel through. If you touch it, it’s like… well! like a
woman.
WP:
I also love looking at it from different angles, because it's shape,
feel, and my
perception of it alters so much with each angle.
Max:
It is a piece that is not a bust, it’s not a bird...
WP:
But it includes those things.
Max:
Yes, it’s all those things and more.
