I think most artists find it difficult to part with their work but it's the parting that keeps us alive and keeps us working. In the case of the chariot, although it's been sold I actually still have it, just in another form.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think artists are driven by the engine of their own talent, but it's a question of what use they put it to.
A lot of artists are much more concerned about how their work is used and how it's disseminated. That, to artists, is as important as the money, for some people.
There's a power in what we hold as artists, and part of that comes with responsibility... to share the human experience and really allow that to be seen.
Artists rarely do the same thing over and over again. Art is about the new, doing things in a new way.
As one gets older one sees many more paths that could be taken. Artists sense within their own work that kind of swelling of possibilities, which may seem a freedom or a confusion.
I started by looking at what others had done before me. You see, over the years there have been attempts by many different people to reconstruct the chariot.
Most artists don't understand what they do, and I don't think we have to. Other people do that better - they understand what I do better than I do!
Artists usually don't make all that much money, and they often keep their artistic hobby despite the money rather than due to it.
I passionately hate the idea of being with it; I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.
