I had a natural feeling for sculpture, and the nudes are my sculpture.
Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level, as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways.
My buildings don't speak in words but by means of their own spaciousness.
A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.
All architecture, classical or not, must have some sense of order, and order is much harder to achieve without the straight lines and right angles that have dominated the building art from time immemorial.
The quilt format is highly appropriate for repetition and serialization. Formal issues of balance and color, space and light in landscape are endlessly engaging. I try to use the medium to its maximum, pushing well beyond tradition.
In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.
To indicate the ideal proportion and reveal sculptural mass and the dominating spirit is my goal.
