One might not think of light as a matter of fact, but I do. And it is, as I said, as plain and open and direct an art as you will ever find.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't know if I believe in art. I certainly believe in light.
I believe in the power of poetry, which gives me reasons to look ahead and identify a glint of light.
Light is a powerful substance. We have a primal connection to it. But, for something so powerful, situations for its felt presence are fragile.
This idea that light plays an important part in our life is important to me.
Light is architectural. It is sculptural.
Art history is littered with work that involves light.
A picture must possess a real power to generate light and for a long time now I've been conscious of expressing myself through light or rather in light.
My days, my years, my life has seen up and downs, lights and darknesses. If I wrote only and continually of the 'light' and never mentioned the other, then as an artist, I would be a liar.
I don't feel drawn to lightness, I need something more. I feel that - oh, I hate saying this, it sounds so wanky - but I feel a real urge to give voices to people we don't usually hear from in real life.
If you labor heavily upon a work of art, then part of what you are saying is, 'This is a heavy work of art.' If you happen to be trying to say something about lightness, then the art should be light as well.
