“If you’ve seen the scale of my past work, people always said it was big because I had this bombastic drive. But I was always trying to push towards the public. I was always trying to re-position the sculptor, the artist, or the actor as having a public persona. I wanted to make this point: “As an artist, I have a right to social space. I have a right to making monuments. I have a right to putting out that gestalt with the world.””
