"I wanted my work to have the ability to discourse with the world cultural and natural at large."
--Ashley Bickerton, 1989

"To me Minimalism suddenly revealed itself as a progenitor or accomplice to the same logic that produces monoculture row planting in national forests, and saturation bombings . . . . I wanted to do an acrobatic leap between the piety of the Minimalist project and the real-world effects of that kind of thinking."
--Ashley Bickerton, 1989
