For me it is the direct contact of artist to material which is original, and it is the earth and his contact to it which will free him of the artificiality of the present and his dependence on industrial products.

Art should become as one with its surroundings.

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

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

Appreciate the moment.

I am always learning, always discovering.

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