"Art making is a form of alchemy, in a way, because you are trying…to make gold from nothing. When it works very well is when you manage to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary."

"I found out about Japanese ceramics and was tremendously inspired by the rough tea bowls which, I think, would be described as wabi-sabi. I didn't know that at that time, but that kind of rough, natural way of making artworks really inspired me."
