Our Parents Decided Not To Teach Us

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.

It Was A Requirement By The Veterans To List The 57,000 Names. We're Reaching A Time That We'll Acknowledge The Individual In A War On A National Level.

An Artist Fights To Retain The Integrity Of A Work So That It Remains A Strong, Clear Vision. Art Is And Should Be The Act Of An Individual Willing To Say Something New, Something Not Quite Familiar.

The Process I Go Through In The Art And The Architecture, I Actually Want It To Be Almost Childlike. Sometimes I Think It's Magical.

I Left Science, Then I Went Into Art, But I Approach Things Very Analytically. I Choose To Pursue Both Art And Architecture As Completely Separate Fields Rather Than Merging Them.
