Sculptures show such skill in craft and art:
"At a certain point I just put the building and the art impulse together. I decided that building was a legitimate way to make sculpture, that it wasn't necessary to work in the traditional methods of carving and casting."

His understanding of the philosophy of craft- Soetsu Yanagi's The Unknown Craftsman- essays on aesthetics of Eastern Craft- reconciliation of opposites or embracing opposites... intuitive and inclusive... beauty as a "liberation from duality"
Sanctuary 1982
