Artists Quotes:

“My working methodology is a slow process of experimentation and discovery, and I would say this process itself is the most rewarding aspect of being an artist.”  Domus Magazine, 2010

“I generally start off with an idea that is probably bad, make a ton of iterations and mistakes, and edit a lot. At some point during this process, I get this notion that I know what Im doing, and then I continue to focus and refine in that direction until I believe Iʼve completely flushed the idea out.”  Domus Magazine, 2010

 “The city of Los Angeles is so young compared to many other real cosmopolitan cities that itʼs like a newborn baby. One doesnʼt know which parent itʼs going to look like yet.” Domus Magazine, 2010
