“On occasion I enjoy including a touch of dark humor in my work. In my imagination, I find it amusing to fantasize that all of the great landscapes that have ever been painted, have an industrial support structure behind them — I-beams, concrete, rebar — and in the deconstructivist landscapes I expose that structure. Aesthetically, I find an interesting and intrinsically humorous interplay between the illusion of 2-dimensional painting and the reality of 3- dimensional sculpture when I break or deconstruct the plain. On a more serious note, in the same way that nature ultimately reduces our most ambitious efforts to rust and dust, so we alter the landscape in the name of progress. Certainly the wrecking ball is a powerful and ominous symbol, as an object in its own right. It has only one purpose — destruction.”
