"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."
"Ferroneous & the Monk" (1999)

"’Ferroneus & The Monk’ is what I call a dream flash. That’s how Mounds dream- in big colorful landscapes filled with floating objects and symbols. Mounds are rooted in the ground. They can’t really move. So in their dreams they’re very mobile. They can go anywhere. All over the place!"
