If you are working, almost like with layers of the Grand Canyon, there's history within those layers.

The longer they hang out, the deeper the history, the richer the life. If you use that as a template or as a way of realizing things, then I don't think you can go wrong.

It should be not only a synergy, but a complicity between the viewer and the artist, and so I'm wide open to that.

You know that you don't have all the answers, and the unknown is the best place where you would want to be as an artist, not knowing. That actually leads you to ask questions, and it continuously feeds itself.

Soap, a cleaning product, can be made from decay.

If you imagine my studio floor, you can just keep picking it up and getting masterpieces.

The fact is, art is alive. It's moving around. It's alive.
