  • Of course, even with a public piece one wants to make beautiful objects, to provoke questions, to make a personal statement, but finally public art is a gift to others, and if you love your medium, that magic comes through.

  • For me, life is a mystery—it's a constant mystery," explains Dorrien, "You can never solve the riddle of who we are and what happened before and what happens afterward. So with my works, which really have nothing to do with time, the mystery is formed in the timelessness of the piece.
    • Quoted by the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park
