(1) How long have you been making installations?

20 or more years.

(2) Why did you choose to make installations and not anything else?

I choose the media that suits my idea best. Sometimes that is installation. Other times I am asked to do one such as A Family Line for the Rooms for the Dead exhibition.

(3) What do you think of your own works?

I find them challenging, engaging, stimulation, thought provoking. Sometimes very beautiful.

(4) What do you think the difference is between your own work and other installations?

I always have inner dimensions and many levels and go into the spiritual world.

(5) What do you think of the relationship of traditional artwork and installation?

They don’t relate naturally to me but I just mix them or put them side by side like in a regular room.

(6) What is the size and material of an installation determined by?

What I’ve been given or what I can afford or what the idea demands.

(7) Could you mention the installation you consider to be the largest and the smallest one?

My smallest was in a match box and my largest was 40x40x100.

(8) Is there any object or idea that cannot be installed?

No.

(9) How does environment affect the installation of the work?

Tremendously. It is probably the most important element of an installation and what most installation tries to do.

(10) Do you know any fact that restricts the possibilities of installation?

Money sometimes. Imagination at others.

(11) Do you like making installation for order or at request?

Yes.

(12) What do you think of preserving an installation?

Fine and it is important to do so. But for me an installation is experiential and documentation of that installation is not. Big difference.

(13) Can the value of an installation be estimated and how?

Totally subjective.

(14) How does copyright apply to installations preserved only in documents?

You can try it.

(16) Your questions, if there is any, and your answers to them.

None for the moment.
