All My Work Is Much

I Really Enjoyed Hanging Out With Some Of The Teachers. This One Chemistry Teacher, She Liked Hanging Out. I Liked Making Explosives. We Would Stay After School And Blow Things Up.

I Think I Needed To Really Move Past My First Public Work As Memorialist, And Be Equally Balanced. It's A Bit Unusual, To Be Working Between The Architecture, The Art, And What I Would Say Is A Synthesis, The Memorials - They're Problem Solving, But It's Very Symbolic. You Get This Triangle; I Need To Be Balanced With Those Three. They're All Equally A Part Of Who I Am. I Love How Different They Are, And Yet They're Coming Out The Same Thing, Whatever It Is.

Even Though I Build Buildings And I Pursue My Architecture, I Pursue It As An Artist. I Deliberately Keep A Tiny Studio. I Don't Want To Be An Architectural Firm. I Want To Remain An Artist.

My Grandfather, On My Father's Side, Helped To Draft One Of The First Constitutions Of China. He Was A Fairly Well-known Scholar.

I Was Always Making Things. Even Though Art Was What I Did Every Day, It Didn't Even Occur To Me That I Would Be An Artist.
