If Art relates itself to an Object, it becomes descriptive, divisionist, literary.
I think art, at its best, happens on a conscious and a subconscious level.
I think all art comes out of conflict. When I write I am always looking for the dramatic kernel of an event, the junctures of people's lives when they go in one direction, not another.
There were a series of moments when I decided that art was important, and it was an important vehicle for me to express my interest in spaces.

We are concerned with the relationship between art and life. Contemporary art is only intelligible in terms of its relationship to our life.
