I was given the gifts of the artist, and the trouble that goes with them: So I have that blessing, and there was never a time thatI questioned it or doubted it.... For forty years, I wanted to jump out of windows.

I began to stack my sculptures into an environment. It was natural. It was a flowing of energy.

I make collages. I join the shattered world creating a new harmony.

I have made my world and it is a much better world than I ever saw outside.

No matter how individual we humans are, we are a composite of everything we are aware of. We are a mirror of our times.

I never liked the middle ground-the most boring place in the world.

I only know this - that you can’t give advice to an artist.
