If We Forget What Used To Be,

An Artist Fights To Retain The Integrity Of A Work So That It Remains A Strong, Clear Vision. Art Is And Should Be The Act Of An Individual Willing To Say Something New, Something Not Quite Familiar.

My Dad Was Dean Of Fine Arts At The University. I Was Casting Bronzes In The School Foundry. I Was Using The University As A Playground.

In Art Or Architecture Your Project Is Only Done When You Say It's Done. If You Want To Rip It Apart At The Eleventh Hour And Start All Over Again, You Never Finish. I Was One Of Those Crazy Creatures.

I Always Say I'm No Different Than A 19th-century Landscape Painter, It's Just That We Have These Incredible Tools To Look At The Earth And Look At The World Around Us Differently.

I Think I've Always Had An Activist Stance, Yet At The Same Time, The Other Side Of Me - And This Is Where Some People Just Don't Get It, Or They'd Prefer It If The Work Was A Lot Uglier, A Lot Louder - I Have This Personality Where I Just Want To Put Something Out That's A Fact And Then Let You Interpret It. It's Almost As If You Might Barely Notice It, You Might Walk Right By It, But You Have To Pay Attention.
