“My process allows me to concentrate wholly on one thought. Everything else becomes lost. An idea remains, and I allow myself to follow through. The perfection that I wish to attain visually through my work is the opposite of what I am surrounded by in life. The organization that I desire cannot be conveyed in any other way. I must focus on one thing.”
