I've always found it necessity to strip away everything but the most fundamental ways to work - the rest is style.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The idea of taking what's useful and discarding the rest is something I say to myself almost on a daily basis.
It's just my aesthetic: to want to feel a bit undone, effortless but not without style.
I threw away the whole of my working history, my photograph albums, diaries and stage clothes. Shoving big, ugly discs on walls is a bit like rubbing people's faces in it, saying 'I am considerably richer than you.' It is completely unnecessary.

Once you've done one style, you leave it for a while.
If you're an artist, you have to use everything to your advantage, even the pain.
When you're dressing on a budget, simplicity is key.
It is most necessary to avoid rusticity in any way, whether in material, design, or execution.
It's the ultimate task to do something stripped back, so you're not hiding behind anything.
The whole point of getting things done is knowing what to leave undone.
