art ideas doe
One does not set out with the idea that I've just had a great idea and now I'm going to go and carry it out. Almost all art that's made like that doesn't go anywhere.
thinking artist expression
Is it my role as an artist to say something, to express, to be expressive? I think it's my role as an artist to bring to expression, it's not my role to be expressive.
artist important stories
It is important that artists are not outside the equation, we don't stand on the sidelines. Artists are part of the story of a response, we cannot stand aside and let others make the response.
artist agendas
I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work
believe artist mythology
One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist
artist world problem
I feel the symbolic world is the nub of a problem for an artist
artist vocation facade
I've always felt that if one was going to take seriously this vocation as an artist, you have to get beyond that decorative facade
art currents contemporary
One of the great currents in the contemporary experience of art is that it seems to come out of the experience of the author.
artist roles pursue
It's the role of the artist to pursue content
art years games
Being an artist is a very long game. It is not a 10-year game. I hope I'll be around making art when I'm 80
artist years work-out
Maybe the way we have learned to look has changed in the last 25 years, and the exotic is much more acceptable. There are many artists now, younger artists, who work out of the exotic
artist world roles
We live in a fractured world. I've always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness.
art people concerned
One doesn't make art for other people, even though I am very concerned with the viewer
art ego ends
I, in the end, make art for myself.
