I wasn't political enough to write articles about myself or go to cocktail parties, meaning that not only has my art been pirated and my intellectual property rights stolen, but my work has been misrepresented.

The trouble is, once you say something about a source, then you've pegged it down, and so now I'm reluctant to say anything. If I say I developed 50 different shapes from Mississippian tumuli, that doesn't mean they're copies of tumuli - I'm not ripping off those shapes.

I wasn't raised to be into promoting myself.

Earth is the material with the most potential because it is the original source material.

I’m self-entertaining. My dialogue is with myself.

I have looked at so many photographs, I can not see them anymore.

I make static art, not dynamic art. That's what I do.

Frank Gehry for instance likes to imagine his buildings as sculptures. I like to imagine my sculptures as architectural.

The type of work I like is pure and simple and profound.

Landscape to me is a planar thing, just a view. Environment is everything down to the ecosystem. Big difference.
