"When I started Let There Be Neon, the craft of neon was en route to extinction… The process remains a mystery to the general public…this lack of exposure and cross-fertilization has resulted in a technology that remains more or less where it started in 1912."
"Neon is coming into it’s own. It is starting to fulfill it’s promise. In sculpture, architecture, graphics and products the creative potentials are being actively explored and realized. The better that it is being used, the more sophisticated are the demands placed on it’s potential. The public is beginning to know what neon is all about. They begin to understand that neon can write itself."
