Art is the means by which we communicate what it feels like to be alive.

Art is not about objects of high monetary exchange. It's about reasserting our firsthand experience in present time.

I was educated by monks - I thank them dearly for the education they gave me, but I am no longer a Catholic.

I want to start where language ends.

I always like to look for adventure when I go away. I have gone on several horse adventures with my wife - from Guangxi we went up to the High Tibetan region. We also went along the Hurunui River on horseback in the South Island of New Zealand.

I have to say that I reject somewhat the distinction between something called art and something called public art. I think all art demands and desires to be seen.
