I want to start where language ends.

I believe in the city as a natural human environment, but we must humanize it. It's art that will re-define public space in the 21st Century. We can make our cities diverse, inspirational places by putting art, dance and performance in all its forms into the matrix of street life.

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.

Making beautiful things for everyday use is a wonderful thing to do.. making life flow more easily.. but art confronts life, allowing it to stop and perhaps change direction.. they are completely different.

Art is not about understanding, it’s about experience.

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

We are not moving towards some kind of goal. We are at the goal, and it is changing with us. If art has any purpose, it is to open our eyes to that fact.
