I feel that my work is not in vain, that it does have a place in society, even though it may not be considered that it has a place in society - it doesn't matter.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My work has social implications, it functions in a social arena.
Usually my ideas for work have revolved around my interest in people, especially people that live on the edges of society.
My work always presents problems in our society. Those problems may be anything from injustice to freedom, and everything related to humanity.
I just feel like if I do good work, then people should respect me for the work I do.
I think one of the reasons I've done so much period work is because I feel so depressed by how society chooses to represent women in contemporary work.
Work needs to be a reflection of your social values. You are how you work!
It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.
If you do not feel yourself growing in your work and your life broadening and deepening, if your task is not a perpetual tonic to you, you have not found your place.
I think there's a lot to be said about just enjoying your work. It can be very contrived when people say their work is for the good of mankind.
When I view the world, I don't think of my own work. I think of my hope that, through art, people can get a sense of the type of invisible fabric that holds us all together, that holds the world together.
