I don't have a dream project. I don't really think in those terms, to tell you the truth.

I always took photographs. I photographed a lot of trees, by the way, which is another image I used often in my work, the tree image.

I like challenge. I like to be put into a situation which I haven't done before. Something new presents itself and I see if I can somehow finagle it into making a work of art out of it.

I was never that big a rock-and-roll, rock guy. I really preferred jazz, you know, that kind of thing.

I liked the idea of the words floating in space and the space behind it moving all the time, ever changing.

By being critical, you also develop your own style of what you like, what direction you want to move.

I think words speak to us even though they may be written on a wall. So we hear them in our mind. We say it to ourselves. But they are also visual things. You draw them. They are designed. They are colored. They have a certain size. I put them in a certain place. So they are objects that have to be - artistic decisions have to be made in terms of the color and the size and the line and whatever.
