Sometimes it is necessary to make a confrontation-and I like that.

The spider is an animal who eats mosquitoes. That's why I love the spider - it is the only way we have to deal with these insects.

In my sculpture, it's not an image I am seeking, it's not an idea. My goal is to re-live a past emotion. My art is an exorcism, and beauty is something I never talk about.

Look at it this way - a totem pole is just a decorated tree. My work is a confessional.

Art is a way of recognizing oneself.

Sometimes it is necessary to make a confrontation-and I like that.

Every day you have to abandon your past or accept it and then, if you cannot accept it, you become a sculptor.
