I've always been interested in space in pictures. I think my going deaf increased my spatial sense, because I can't get the direction of sound. I feel that I see space very clearly, and that's because I can't hear it. So it's a compensatory thing.

I made a photograph of a garden in Kyoto, the Zen garden, which is a rectangle. But a photograph taken from any one point will not show, well it shows a rectangle, but not with ninety degree angles.

Anyway I feel myself a bit on the edge on the art world, but I don't mind, I'm just pursuing my work in a very excited way. And there isn't really a mainstream anymore, is there?

I do do a lot of talking, because it saves me listening.

When you are older, you realise that everything else is just nothing compared to painting and drawing.

The camera can't see space. It sees surfaces. People see space, which is much more interesting.

In my old age, I'll be in L.A.
