My dad was dean of fine arts at the university. I was casting bronzes in the school foundry. I was using the university as a playground.
I deliberately did not read anything about the Vietnam War because I felt the politics of the war eclipsed what happened to the veterans. The politics were irrelevant to what this memorial was.
I loved logic, math, computer programming. I loved systems and logic approaches. And so I just figured architecture is this perfect combination.
Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.
