Baroque sculpture and interior design has a quality of creating an environment that seems organic because it's full of curves and details, like a forest.

The political cartoon, in a way, is one of the highest forms of expression about our times. I don't believe in dramatic statements when it comes to political critique. It doesn't communicate in a way that's subversive enough.

I'm working on new techniques. I'm trying to find a way to make fresco that can be detached from a wall, and I'm trying to find new people who can help me work on a very large scale in bronze.

I like to make sculpture because it makes my life social. When I make drawings, I work alone. When I work with sculpture I have someone I can work with.

I think art must be the place where you are protected from the logic of the outside world.

Ikebana is meant to mimic life in the way it develops; it shouldn't look like it's under the control of man.

In the traditional Ikebana things always have to be asymmetrical, because in this they look more natural and balanced.
