When I Was Very Little, We Would

My Grandfather, On My Father's Side, Helped To Draft One Of The First Constitutions Of China. He Was A Fairly Well-known Scholar.

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.

A Lot Of My Works Deal With A Passage, Which Is About Time. I Don't See Anything That I Do As A Static Object In Space. It Has To Exist As A Journey In Time.

I Think I've Always Had An Activist Stance, Yet At The Same Time, The Other Side Of Me - And This Is Where Some People Just Don't Get It, Or They'd Prefer It If The Work Was A Lot Uglier, A Lot Louder - I Have This Personality Where I Just Want To Put Something Out That's A Fact And Then Let You Interpret It. It's Almost As If You Might Barely Notice It, You Might Walk Right By It, But You Have To Pay Attention.

I'm As Much Interested In The Form-making As Well As Getting You To Think About What We're Doing To The World Around Us.
