“My life has been one with wood. I have made many things imaginable with wood for
the past 50 years.”

“It takes at least two months to complete a small project. A sculpture which holds so
much devotion cannot be measured monetarily. True value of my sculptures lies in
knowing that there will only be one of its kind in the world.”

Interview with the artist (October 2004)

On the medium: Wood
“Before each project, I spend some time talking to the wood after the selection.
In the process, many thoughts come to me about the project. Eventually, small nicks
and twists of the wood will be incorporated and reflected in the final work.
I believe the wood itself has already decided the final outcome of my art piece.”
