Humanity lives and always has lived on certain elemental provisions.

I am for an art that takes into account the direct effect of the elements as they exist from day to day apart from representation.

My work is about my life, and what I want to do with it.

I want to work on interesting parts that I can believe in.

I want to do everything in the world that can be done.

I understand human needs. I grew up where far too many people lived day to day without elemental needs like food and shelter.

No matter where we are or how advanced we think we are, there are elemental issues of our civilization that stories help us work through.

I want to do transformational work to actually fix the world.

It takes a lot of help - nature, friends, family, craftsmen - for me to make what I make.
