I'm always working. If I'm not in my studio I become quite nervous.

For me, art really starts with acceptance, self trust. Wherever you come to with art, its perfect. You dont have to come with anything. What you bring to something is the art. Thats where its found. Its found within you.

My favorite activity is to be with my family.

Even before I had children I wanted the intensity of my life to get greater. I wanted to feel things more strongly. I wanted my intellectual parameters to expand. But it comes back to your own desire to be engaged and to live up to your parameters.

I produce a lot of my artwork in Germany.

Art is obsolete now. New technologies are taking over.

I spend much more time looking at art history and at different references to art than I do at actual objects.
