The way I've been working over the years has to do with space that was once inhabited by, for instance, water. It has to do with marks that are left and memories that are left from those marks. If you think of the drawings I've made based on floors, which have relevance to a particular place like a bathroom or kitchen, that has to do with the passage of time and movement and spillage, I suppose.

Some of the earlier bath pieces were cast straight from an actual bathtub. The Pulitzer piece is slightly different because it came from a mold. When objects actually contain liquid in the real world, it becomes another issue because realizing the piece involves casting a liquid into a form to create a solid object. Whether it ends up being an enormous architectural piece or an intimate piece that looks quite ritualistic, the process from liquid to solid is always one of my primary concerns. *
