The different bodies of my work end themselves when there's no more discovery to be had.

At the end of the day, you can't have a vision; you have to have a hope. This is where the miracle comes in.

It's such a weird self-confidence that an artist has - to conceive of this thing that serves no function and say, 'I'm going to really work hard for it and give it and it's just going to matter to people.' You really have to believe it all on your own.

A lot of my work involves instilling objects with the power of touch - a transference of soul, spirit, energy through actions.

A lot of my work is about what's abstract and what's pictorial. Is it bubblegum, or is it an abstract painting using bubblegum? The energy comes from walking that line and watching things dip this way and that.

A lot of my work is about equalizing things and kind of destroying any barrier between what's high and low, or what's deep or what's shallow, complex or simple. I hope I'm ever-changing.
