"My work is about, in general, locations and spaces. I wanted to make sure that the mosaic showed a navigational system, that people were on the move with abstract elements that suggest movement. Also a lot of frenetic energy, which I think is present in the work. Also spots where you stop, locations, resting places, whether you're going to a restaurant or you're going to a classroom, those are places of stop in the navigation of the Upper East Side."

"The works are very conversant. I start anywhere. Because I'm always trying to disrupt a perception, if it starts hard edged, geometric, again, feeling more factual and determined, I try to, in the next move, loosen it up so things get more lyrical and biomorphic and expressionistic. The works are combinations of those languages that go back and forth in a conversant way until they land in a spot where I feel things are very indeterminate."
