Soft sculpture encourages empathy between the viewer and the sculpture because like the human body which it resembles in its lumps, bumps, folds, and crevices, soft sculpture is subject to the force of gravity to a degree that rigid sculpture is not .
The reliance on gravity to determine the final shape of a work can be viewed as a reliance on chance.
Barbara Rose, art critic, about Claus Oldenburg, 1967
