As a sculptor in time, place, in space, and alone, sculpture should seem to have grown here and also to have been built here.

I am interested more than anything else in being a free person. To me, that means that I can make what I want to make ...

I like working with my hands, making things and holding things.

I have always been interested in the concept of freedom on the personal and universal levels ...

I came to see the strength of my own roots and past.

Play, as I look back on it, began what has been a second career for me, that of a public sculptor.

The theme of much of my work can be characterized as a fusion or harmonization of the vital tensions existing between dualities...

The complex variety and vitality of the forms I began to surround and involve myself with led me to some interesting discoveries ...

Everything that exists, natural or man made, contains some sculptural quality or property.

In some works it is my intention to develop the kind of forms nature might create if only heat and steel were available to her.

To a great extent, the success of an artist in today’s society might still be a matter of building a better mouse trap.
