Whatever art form you're working in, it's crucial to see it clearly, to feel it clearly, and not to worry about the results, or how someone else will see it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you look at art made by other people, you see what you need to see in it.
One of the things you're doing when you make art, apart from entertaining yourself and other people, is trying to see what ways of working feel good, what feels right.
All my work is about how it feels to look.
It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.
The commonality between science and art is in trying to see profoundly - to develop strategies of seeing and showing.
When I go to an art gallery and stand in front of a painting, I don't want someone telling me what I should be seeing or thinking; I want to feel whatever I feel, see whatever I see, and figure out what I figure out.
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
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.
In order to figure this artmaking stuff out, it's trial and error and experimentation, and takes some time and hard thinking. Putting work out in many forms and stages is an extension of how I see things. I feel the art process is best served when it invites comments and constructive criticism from people.
I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.
