The most precise work is generally done by hand, with hand tools. Some people rely on machines for their precision, and my way of working is backwards. I rely on the machines for doing the gross stock removal and then, when it comes to the final refinements and fitting of joints and things, making things work together, I rely more on sharp-edged tools that I push by hand.

I realized it wasn't necessary to work in the traditional methods of carving and casting.

The fire was followed by a period of grieving and then by an incredible lightness, freedom, and mobility.

I was never interested in making cool, distilled, pure objects.

I think of moving as a kind of saving grace.

There is the potential for much more spontaneity with prints than there is with the sculpture, which tends to be very slow, accretive kind of process-labor intensive.
