Things that are very significant and important to you when constructing an identity when you're younger change.

When studio art started being seen as important, I joined Colab, and then I became very involved.

I first had no interest in figuration whatsoever.

It’s one of my loose theories that Catholicism and art have gone well together because both believe in the physical manifestation of the spiritual world.

We as beings are very contradictory, complicated creatures that work in our best interest and against our best interest. In a certain way, I want my work to have all that messiness.

It was a very economically depressed time [the 80s] and because of that, there was a lot of space. Everything was relatively dilapidated, and one could live on a pretty low income. One could live well below the poverty line and not suffer immensely.

I think that sense of always traveling has something to do with anonymity and privacy and pleasure in having a very clear, very reductive life.
