My 'work' is about seeing not about ideas.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't look at other people's work because I don't want to be distracted by their ideas.
Look around at day-to-day life for ideas, and it finds its way into your work.
My ideas tend to arise out of nowhere when I'm not intentionally trying to think of something.
I often find that having an idea in my head prevents me from doing something else. Working is therefore a way of getting rid of an idea.
I'm always having ideas. I'd like to continue being able to realise the ideas I have.
I have no interest in making a work that doesn't elicit a feeling.
What I want to show in my work is the idea which hides itself behind so-called reality.
My ideas come, wh-pheww. And I draw. Just recently, when I'm searching for ideas for paintings and sculptures, I wait for ideas, and it's always visual.
I'm somewhat old-fashioned, and I still talk about playing a part. I don't talk about my work - 'I've seen some of your work' - there's not much work in it, is there?
Don't let anyone tell you your ideas are stupid or the thing you feel most passionate about 'won't work' - it's happened to me time and time again, and we find that if you push at what you think is interesting hard enough, you're probably right.
