I'm not creating art that starts with politics or starts with ethics. I feel I am a conceptual artist because my art is more concerned with epistemology than ethics or politics or even aesthetics.

The moment when one thing turns into another is the most beautiful moment. A combination of sounds turns into music. And that applies to everything.

Illusions as bad as mine make people aware of the fallacies of visual information and the pleasure to be derived from such fallacies.

My first reaction to finding Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty in a book was, Wow, what a great photograph! I could not believe that someone had gone to so much trouble just to end up with a picture.

If you find an idea without form, please let me know because I would love to take a picture of it.

Whenever I am tired of making photographs of drawings, I make drawings of photographs.

I think art is the development of this interface between mind and matter, between mind and phenomenon, between what's inside of us and what's happening outside of us. It developed over the course of the last 35,000 years. We made a lot of improvements because it not only gave us the tools to understand the world better, but it also gave us better and better tools to do it. It's that continuous relationship: technology and discernment.
