The best is that which is most spontaneous or seemingly so.

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

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

I perceive my limitations even as I work. There are times when I see nothing but restrictions, barriers. Learning takes time.

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

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.

To order space is to give it meaning.
