“Sculpture, for me, provides that environmental discipline where you actually move in and around it. And if you have a good collaboration with an architect, to combine those aspects of color - I'm talking about color becoming a form within the building - that is a very different approach. I love contemporary architecture, which makes collaboration more interesting-and you have to be able to collaborate. It's like making a film, in a way: Everyone is a part of the team.”

So it becomes an engineering process, too.”

“I have an intuitive understanding of technology. And the way I incorporate technology in the work tends to humanize it a great deal.”
