“What about black… the illusion of black…means to me; I don’t think I chose it for black. I think it chose me for saying something. You see, it says more for me than anything else. In the academic world, they used to say black and white were no colors, but I’m twisting that to tell you that for me it is the total color. It means totality. It means: contains all.”

“The canons and orders taught me rigor, a love of symmetry and balance, and—if it can be said in these times of such barbarous return to barbarity— a love of harmony. I merely repurposed them in simple and clear structures, wedding decoration to form.”
