Whenever you finish an artwork and the viewer comes and views it, at that moment you've given up control.

I always like to believe that my work is about the expansion of the possibilities of the viewer. So if you have a sense of a heightened situation where there's an excitement, a physical excitement and an intellectual stimulation, there's just this sense of expansion. Because that's where the art happens. Inside the viewer.

I am very conscious of the viewer because that's where the art takes place. My work really strives to put the viewer in a certain kind of emotional state.

I'm in deep in everything, every moment of the day. I create the systems and oversee every aspect of the execution. Every mark on a sculpture and every brush-stroke on a painting is in a controlled situation, exactly as they'd be if I'd have done them myself.

Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.

It's not about finding relevance or perfection or imperfection in objects, but it's that you can accept yourself and then go out and accept others.
