I Like To Think Of My Work

You Have To Let The Viewers Come Away With Their Own Conclusions. If You Dictate What They Should Think, You've Lost It.

I Saw The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Not As An Object Placed Into The Earth But As A Cut In The Earth That Has Then Been Polished, Like A Geode.

I Probably Spent The First 20 Years Of My Life Wanting To Be As American As Possible. Through My 20s, And Into My 30s, I Began To Become Aware Of How So Much Of My Art And Architecture Has A Decidedly Eastern Character.

All My Work Is Much More Peaceful Than I Am.

I Left Science, Then I Went Into Art, But I Approach Things Very Analytically. I Choose To Pursue Both Art And Architecture As Completely Separate Fields Rather Than Merging Them.
