Since the time of St. Jerome, it was mandatory for any kind of scholar or thinker to spend time out in the desert in solitude. It's no coincidence that the desert has been a major part of the visionary or mystical experience from the beginning of time.

There is an invisible world out there, and we are living in it.

I like to keep the meanings in my work flowing and open.

There's another world out there just beyond the world we're in. It's just on the other side of that translucent, semitransparent surface.

Because we live in an industrialized, fast-paced world that prefers that the soul remain asleep.

A lot of what making art is, is just being open, and empty. And putting yourself in the right place for things to, literally, come together.

People have experiences in art museums today that they used to have in church.
