Its such a weird self-confidence that an artist has - to conceive of this thing that serves no function and say, Im going to really work hard for it and give it and its just going to matter to people. You really have to believe it all on your own.

I think that artworks are like these spiritual objects: I think that they have energies and powers beyond what the eye can see.

At the end of the day, you cant have a vision; you have to have a hope. This is where the miracle comes in.

A lot of my work involves instilling objects with the power of touch - a transference of soul, spirit, energy through actions.

I try very hard to handle things equally: ideas, materials, and images.

Art is kind of the lens through which I think about God.
