It Terrified Me To Have An Idea

Some Of Your Teachers Are Actually Closer In Age To You Than You Think.

I Think I Needed To Really Move Past My First Public Work As Memorialist, And Be Equally Balanced. It's A Bit Unusual, To Be Working Between The Architecture, The Art, And What I Would Say Is A Synthesis, The Memorials - They're Problem Solving, But It's Very Symbolic. You Get This Triangle; I Need To Be Balanced With Those Three. They're All Equally A Part Of Who I Am. I Love How Different They Are, And Yet They're Coming Out The Same Thing, Whatever It Is.

I Also Wanted Remembering The Past Relevant To The Present. Some People Wanted Me To Put The Names In Alphabetical Order. I Wanted Them In Chronological Order So That A Veteran Could Find His Time Within The Panel. It's Like A Thread Of Life.

I Loved Logic, Math, Computer Programming. I Loved Systems And Logic Approaches. And So I Just Figured Architecture Is This Perfect Combination.

To Me, The American Dream Is Being Able To Follow Your Own Personal Calling. To Be Able To Do What You Want To Do Is Incredible Freedom.
