I Loved Logic, Math, Computer

I Saw The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Not As An Object Placed Into The Earth But As A Cut In The Earth That Has Then Been Polished, Like A Geode. Interest In The Land And Concern About How We Are Polluting The Air And Water Of The Planet Are What Make Me Want To Travel Back In Geologic Time-to Witness The Shaping Of The Earth Before Man.

Ok, It Was Black, It Was Below Grade, I Was Female, Asian American, Young, Too Young To Have Served. Yet I Think None Of The Opposition In That Sense Hurt Me.

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.

In Art Or Architecture Your Project Is Only Done When You Say It's Done. If You Want To Rip It Apart At The Eleventh Hour And Start All Over Again, You Never Finish. I Was One Of Those Crazy Creatures.

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.
