I think architecture is one of the predominant orderings of social space. It can construct and contain our experiences. It defines our days and nights. It literally puts us in our place.

There are so many moments and works that influence us in what we do. Movies, music, TV and, most importantly, the profound everydayness of our lives.

You want it, you buy it, you forget it.

I don't necessarily think that installation is the only way to go. It's just a label for certain kinds of arrangements.

The place of the arts in the classroom is essential in encouraging invention, ambition, and an understanding of the importance and pleasures of living an examined life.

I work with pictures and words because they have the ability to determine who we are, what we want to be and what we become.

What I'm trying to do is create moments of recognition.
