The underlying sense of form in my work has been the system of the Universe, or part thereof. For that is a rather large model to work from.

You see nature and then you try to emulate it.

To an engineer, good enough means perfect. With an artist, there's no such thing as perfect.

My fingers always seem busier than my mind.

The trouble with a lot of artists today is that they have too much technique and equipment. They don't know what to do with it all. If you cut down on it, you can work more strongly within narrower limits.

Above all, art should be fun.

My fan mail is enormous. Everyone is under six.
