"I use a lot of repetition. And it becomes a filmic way of talking because as you put the same image after the other, even though it’s the exact identical image, everyone sees something changing from one image to the next."

"There’s the form side of things, but there’s also chaos. I think that a sculpture or a real work of art has to be a truth that has to position us so that the formal side (when we are trying to be awake and ordered) is going to tell us that’s how we should be. And it’s going to look poorly upon the chaotic side.... But there’s a super sort of awareness when we can stand back and see that we ourselves are trying to balance the chaos and the formal, and that the chaos is actually good for us and in fact absolutely necessary to our well-being."
