To Me, The American Dream Is Being

My Parents Are Both College Professors, And It Made Me Want To Question Authority, Standards And Traditions.

Sometimes I Think Creativity Is Magic; It's Not A Matter Of Finding An Idea, But Allowing The Idea To Find You.

I Was Always Making Things. Even Though Art Was What I Did Every Day, It Didn't Even Occur To Me That I Would Be An Artist.

Some Artists Want To Confront. Some Want To Invoke Thought. They're All Necessary And They're All Valid.

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. Interest In The Land And Concern About How We Are Polluting The Air And Water Of The Planet Are What Make Me Want To Travel Back In Geologic Time-to Witness The Shaping Of The Earth Before Man.
