negative finished
A negative is never finished.
drawing sketchbooks not-sure
Mostly, drawings are things I make for myself - I do them in sketchbooks. They are mental experiments - private inner thoughts when I'm not sure what will come out.
fall years museums
Yes, my works... are enshrined in museums, but I don't care if the pieces fall apart in 20 years.
interest
What interests me is the unforeseeable.
opportunity thinking luck
I’m a believer in luck and think the social conditions you’re born into provide the opportunity for you to prove your luck. And I suppose I’ve been lucky.
procedures interest
It's the procedures in and for themselves that interest me. The picture isn't really necessary.
photography mean differences
I don't see a big difference between painting and photography. Moreover, such distinctions mean nothing to me.
