I feel uncomfortable with the term public art, because I'm not sure what it means. If it means what I think it does, then I don't do it. I'm not crazy about categories.

Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level, as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways.

What makes the production of my work so expensive? The whole installation thing - the construction, the objects, the technology. It really adds up.

I think what I'm trying to do is create moments of recognition. To try to detonate some kind of feeling or understanding of lived experience.

I have no complaints, except for the world.

the art world has always been an unrelenting taste machine, but now flavors of the month have morphed into flavors of the minute. Again, all a reflection of a wider cultural condition. I mean, the art world is slow compared with the music and movie businesses.

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