How We Are Using Up Our Home,

I Probably Spent The First 20 Years Of My Life Wanting To Be As American As Possible. Through My 20s, And Into My 30s, I Began To Become Aware Of How So Much Of My Art And Architecture Has A Decidedly Eastern Character.

I Do Not Think You Can Find A Reason For Everything You Make.

The Only Thing That Mattered Was What You Were To Do In Life, And It Wasn't About Money. It Was About Teaching, Or Learning.

I Though About What Death Is, What A Loss Is. A Sharp Pain That Lessens With Time, But Can Never Quite Heal Over. A Scar. The Idea Occurred To Me There On The Site. Take A Knife And Cut Open The Earth, And With Time The Grass Would Heal It. As If You Cut Open The Rock And Polished It.

You Have To Have Conviction And Completely Question Everything And Anything You Do. No Matter How Much You Study, No Matter How Much You Know, The Side Of Your Brain That Has The Smarts Won't Necessarily Help You In Making Art.
