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.

We were unusually brought up; there was no gender differentiation. I was never thought of as any less than my brother.

Growing up, I thought I was white. It didn't occur to me I was Asian-American until I was studying abroad in Denmark and there was a little bit of prejudice.

Math, it's a puzzle to me. I love figuring out puzzles.

I begin by imagining an artwork verbally. I try to describe in writing what the project is, what it is trying to do. I need to understand the artwork without giving it a specific materiality or solid form.

My parents are both college professors, and it made me want to question authority, standards and traditions.

If we can't face death, we'll never overcome it. You have to look it straight in the eye. Then you can turn around and walk back out into the light.
