When an artist stopped being a child, he would stop being an artist.

The essence of sculpture is for me the perception of space, the continuum of our existence.

To order space is to give it meaning.

The art of stone in a Japanese garden is that of placement. Its ideal does not deviate from that of nature.

Appreciate the moment.

It is said that stone is the affection of old men. That may be so. It is the most challenging to work. A dialogue ensues – of chance no chance, mistakes no mistakes. No erasing or reproduction is possible, at least in the way I work, leaving nature’s mark. It is unique and final.

Everything is sculpture. Any material, any idea without hindrance born into space, I consider sculpture.
