- I'm
always trying to create work that doesn't make
viewers feel they're being spoken down to, so
that they feel open participation.

- I
try to be a truthful artist and I try to show
a level of courage. I enjoy that. I'm a messenger.

- Generally
I walk around and I see one object and it affects
me. I can't just choose any object or any theme
to work with. I can be confronted by an object
and be interested in a specific thing about it,
and then the context develops simultaneously.
I never try to create a context artificially.

- I'm
basically the idea person. I'm not physically
involved in the production. I don't have the necessary
abilities, so I go to the top people, whether
I'm working with my foundry or in physics. I'm
always trying to maintain the integrity of the
work.

- I
love the gallery, the arena of representation.
It's a commercial world, and morality is based
generally around economics, and that's taking
place in the art gallery. I like the tension of
accessibility and inaccessibility, and the morality
in the art gallery.

Gallery, Money
- I'm
not interested in corporations having my work.
Some corporations collect my work, that's fine.
But let's say I use a specific product, like a
Spalding basketball, I don't want Spalding to
have my basketball. I don't do it for that reason.

- I'm
interested in the morality of what it means to
be an artist. As an artist I'm most concerned
with what art means to me, how it defines my life

- The
basic story line is about art leaving the realm
of the artist, when the artist loses control of
the work.
