I'm mostly self-taught. I didn't learn much in school.

I study what I work with. I studied all these different fields of science that I needed for my work. I studied how to mine a landfill and what to plant in it. It's fascinating because you learn a new field each time.

My work is about helping humanity.

Public art existed all along, but ecological art just naturally grew out of my thinking and writings in that area for years. I didn't get involved in it; I started what then became a movement.

People always understand everything in retrospect.

We use up words as we use up images. We use up everything, and that's good, because it makes us grow.

When I'm gone, you'll be sitting in a cafe and say, "Do you remember Agnes?"
