“The painter's obsession with his subject is all that he needs to drive him to work.”
“Since every building and designed object is made of memory, every place can become a memorial for re-membering our lives and the world around us... a place to recollect the fragments of our lives into a revitalized whole.”
“Embrace your grief. For there, your soul will grow.”
“Meditation is a way to be narcissistic without hurting anyone”
“Hunting is the last perfect thing.”
“A beautifully written tale that lives somewhere between landscape and memory, where regret becomes a prison, and a story told often enough becomes truth.”
“I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.”
“I could never do just one thing, but everything I do is in the direction of stories. Sometimes writing them, sometimes showcasing them, sometimes letting people see them.”
