" I would like my art to be liked by two year old kids and eighty year old retired people. I make beautiful objects.  I can go through a long historical thing about what they are.  But

for me, right now, I'm trying to make something really beautiful.

​

I dont think it's frivolous... I dont think of beauty in that sense as something frivolous.  It's not pretty, but it's about something that has some human feeling connected to it."
