If I'm creating a free-form piece of art, I can make it look like anything I want, and nobody will say it's wrong.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always said if what I'm going to create doesn't look good on everybody, I'm not going to do it.
It's good to make your own things because you can have control of your own art.
There are forms of art that I might not like to do myself, but I still have respect for the artists who create it.
You can turn something into art just because of the way you tell people to look at it.
So much of art-making is about reducing things to the essentials, so I don't feel particularly crippled by this. I don't want it to look natural because then I would be making a documentary film.
Hopefully if you create something fine, people will relate to it, so you're communicating with people, and you're not in a void. On the other hand, because you're always creating and transforming, art always separates you - always.
I have no ethics when it comes to art. You just do what you can to make it as beautiful as you can.
I don't feel I'm trying to make art. I'm trying to make interesting things. People can relate to that.
I don't think there is too much art involved in what I do.
There is always shame in the creation of an expressive work, whether it's a book or a clay pot. Every artist worries about how they will be seen by others through their work. When you create, you aspire to do justice to yourself, to remake yourself, and there is always the fear that you will expose the very thing that you hoped to transform.
