When I came to New York, I began to meet the people who became the most famous artists of our time. I was insecure about my own level of ability, I didn't know whether I could compete with these people and, at the same time. I was wondering what is this anyway?

I was a student at Harvard, and that's where I learned about so-called avant-garde music. Jackson Pollock, abstract expressionism and painting were well known at this time.

I began composing works which were imitative of the music I was being told about. I was also very interested in translating the music into visual terms.

Since 'concepts' are closely bound up with language, concept art is a kind of art of which the material is language.

I'm trying to assemble materials for a different mode of life.
