I think I realized it was an art form at the beginning, but it took me a really long time before I was able to view what I was performing myself as an art form.

I like forms that are flexible, that can let you feel creative.

Artists of many diverse types began using simple forms to their own ends.

The artist likes to seem totally responsible for his work. Often he begins to explain it, to make it appear as if it were a reasonable process.

There's a need to keep the history of an artform going, parallel with the new work that's being done.

Providing, meaning to a mass of unrelated needs, ideas, words and pictures - it is the designer's job to select and fit this material together and make it interesting.

To give a body and a perfect form to one's thought, this - and only this - is to be an artist.

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.

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.
