The anticipation of discovering new possibilities becomes my greatest joy.

Of course, in order to make art, the frustration of not working has to be greater than the frustration of working.

Well, I do think, particularly the way I work, the better images occur when you're moving to the fringes of your own understanding. That's where self-doubt and risk taking are likely to occur. It's when you trust what's happening at a non-intellectual non-conscious level that you can produce work that later resonates, often in a way that you can't articulate a response to.

I think of many of my photographs as being obviously symbolic but not symbolically obvious. There isn't any specific correlation between the symbols in this image and any content that I have in mind.

I have gradually confused photography with life.

My visual quest is driven by a desire to create a universe capable of supporting feelings and ideas.

It is the illusion of knowledge, not ignorance, that keeps one from growing.
