“THERE IS A GENERALIZED TENDENCY TO SHOW ART AS SOMETHING UNREACHABLE AND INCOMPREHENSIBLE; ARTISTS AND THEIR WORK ARE FREQUENTLY SURROUNDED BY A MYSTERIOUS AURA MADE OUT OF PRETENTIOUS AND, MANY TIMES, INCOHERENT WORDS. THAT WAY THE CREATION ACQUIRES AN ALMOST DIVINE CHARACTER, SO THAT WE MORTALS ARE MINIMIZED BEFORE SUCH WONDER, DUE TO OUR FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND IT.

I SEEK EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. MY WORK IS STRAIGHTFORWARD;  IT DOES NOT NEED ANY EXPLANATIONS OR JUSTIFICATIONS. IT IS JUST THERE, COLORFUL, WITTY, AND ALMOST EVERY TIME, IRONIC. IT CAN BE MANY THINGS AT THE SAME TIME; IT DEPENDS ON THE INTERPRETATION EACH PERSON GIVES IT. THAT IS WHAT IT WAS CREATED FOR; SO ANYONE OF ANY AGE COULD STAND BEFORE A SCULPTURE, UNDERSTAND IT, ENJOY IT, BE ANNOYED BY IT; THINK ANYTHING, BUT NEVER EVER FEEL EXCLUDED, BECAUSE IF THAT WERE THE CASE, WHAT IS THE USE OF CREATING, IF NOT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH PEOPLE?”
