It's good for art to make us think, to give us a shared experience that creates a dialogue, makes us talk to each other, including strangers.

When developing an idea, I remind myself not to start with compromise. I envision the ideal manifestation of the idea, as if I had no limits in resources, materials, or permission.

Advances in technology have opened up possibilities in the cultural realm throughout history. I'm intrigued by developments in technology - as an artist it gives me a new palette to explore.

The spaces I want to be in are nurturing and soft and saturated with color. Our cities don't have enough of that, and as humans we need it.

In my regular life, I am very involved in commissions for cities and sometimes countries. And I think of public art as a team sport. The outcome is only possible with the interaction of all the players.

My whole career I've been interested by the distinction between an emotional and an intellectual response to an artwork.

You can't stumble upon something new and wonderful if you don't have time to stumble.
