"I'm telling you this because I've learned over my life that I come back to the same subjects over and over again. Not a repetition so much as a cycling. I think everything cycles around again and again. I come back over and over to the same subjects in my art, but hopefully with a bit more wisdom each time. I'm always making art about time. I don't understand how it works, but I'm always interested in it."
