I saw the Vietnam Veterans Memorial not as an object placed into the earth but as a cut in the earth that has then been polished, like a geode.

Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.

I'm as much interested in the form-making as well as getting you to think about what we're doing to the world around us.

Every memorial in its time has a different goal.
