The Role Of Art In Society Differs

It's Funny, As You Live Through Something You're Not Aware Of It.

Architecture Is Like A Mythical Fantastic. It Has To Be Experienced. It Can't Be Described. We Can Draw It Up And We Can Make Models Of It, But It Can Only Be Experienced As A Complete Whole.

I Do Think The Smaller-scale Studio Works Have That Incredible Love Of Data Crunching, Whereas I Would Say The Large-scale Earthworks Tend To Be Much More Stripped-down. With The Mappings, As Connected As They Are To A Much More Analytical Idea, What's A Map? And Can I Make A Map About Time? I Think The First Time Was Hurricane Sandy, The Flood Plane; A Moment In Time, But Indelibly Marked On Any Of Us Who Were In The City. Mapping Time Is Something That I'm Really Interested In.

I Think I Needed To Really Move Past My First Public Work As Memorialist, And Be Equally Balanced. It's A Bit Unusual, To Be Working Between The Architecture, The Art, And What I Would Say Is A Synthesis, The Memorials - They're Problem Solving, But It's Very Symbolic. You Get This Triangle; I Need To Be Balanced With Those Three. They're All Equally A Part Of Who I Am. I Love How Different They Are, And Yet They're Coming Out The Same Thing, Whatever It Is.

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.
