It is. And I never dreamed that I could get away with that. It’s a case where the appliance—the armature—evolved through the universe in one distinct way, and the sculpture evolved through the universe in another particular way. Now they touch. We can see them as a totality.

I think art should be a special moment. A rare moment when unusual things happen. One of my favorite pieces is this little one, Section V, Extension F (2007). It has a certain green. There’s a history to color—humans don’t see a color until it’s time to see it. There’s a primal relationship between us and color. For me it’s very exciting.
