I don't do abstract art because I don't find it as interesting as I do subjects and depictions.

There's always been a potential erotic possibility with objects.

I had, over the years, collected things, small things, as people do, and I had put them all together and showed them in what became a building in the form of the Geometric Mouse.

The main reason for the colossal objects is the obvious one, to expand and intensify the presence of the vessel - the object.

Because my work is naturally non-meaningful, the meaning found in it will remain doubtful and inconsistent - which is the way it should be. All that I care about is that, like any startling piece of nature, it should be capable of stimulating meaning.

Duchamp is known for calling a thing art, rather than making it. A lot of that is picked up in pop art, too.

Ox-Bow was a very free place, very open. You could do whatever you wanted to do.
