All of the significant art of today stems from Conceptual art. This includes the art of installation, political, feminist and socially directed art.

Artists teach critics what to think. Critics repeat what the artists teach them.

Just as the development of earth art and installation art stemmed from the idea of taking art out of the galleries, the basis of my involvement with public art is a continuation of wall drawings.

I was not interested in irony; I wanted to emphasize the primacy of the idea in making art.
