"Words are just a way we communicate. Images are a way we communicate. And I couldn't figure out why they had to be in different baskets."

"The weather’s often quite poor in this area, so you can stay inside, you can move about. Once you’re in there, it’s like a little interior metropolis...The piece is very large, about 80 photographs. The idea is to lay it out in a way that is a flow through the building, but depending on who you are and how you use the building, it’s a discovery process that could occur over days, months or even years. I like the idea that the scale of the work is unknown but pervasive. Not dominating it, but setting a kind of tone for the space."
