An object imbued with intent - it has power, it's treasure, we're drawn to it. An object devoid of intent - it's random, it's imitative, it repels us. It's like a piece of junk mail to be thrown away.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Intention involves such a small fragment of our consciousness and of our mind and of our life.
How inscrutable and incomprehensible are the hidden works of Nature!
For me an object is something living. This cigarette or this box of matches contains a secret life much more intense than that of certain human beings.
By object is meant some element in the complex whole that is defined in abstraction from the whole of which it is a distinction.
The object of Literature is to instruct, to animate, or to amuse.
Art is the objectification of feeling, and the subjectification of nature.
What my work is about is, 'Can something that is not an inanimate object be considered valuable?'
The idea is that the object has a language unto itself.
On the one hand, there are individual actions such as throwing, pushing, touching, rubbing. It is these individual actions that give rise most of the time to abstraction from objects.
A purpose, an intention, a design, strikes everywhere even the careless, the most stupid thinker.
