As an artist, I have to develop an idea that goes beyond just setting a little mould down somewhere. The idea must attempt to put contemporary thinking into a nutshell and people can start building their own personal structure from there.

As an artist, rather than trying to depict a certain form as good and feasible, I would like to provide stimuli by dint of my work.

Ideally, this will result in altering people‘s ways of thinking, of assessing things, of behaving. This, then, would be art.

I don‘t see culture as a hierarchical concept.

His works are based on the maxim of “sculpture as organizational principle”, and the idea of the series. Through reproduction, he removes the elite element from art. He does not wish to create monuments but rather enduring occasions for communication.

His art has an immediate presence; it becomes an event and an experience that inspires and brings together people from all over the world.

This is what interests me as an artist – that my own formulations will raise my own next question. This question that follows becomes possible because I do not offer any permanent solution – because no such solution exists.
