“Art is about the individual experience of creation and the disappearance of the individual self into that action; creating a thing to the point where the individual becomes the thing itself. My pursuit of this was a result of my unique training and experiences and circumstances of my existence. It is one of the ways that I have found to best serve the whole. The result is for everyone else to determine the meaning; for their own benefit.”
