Learn To Recognise When You Need To

And I Don't Have Any Specific Steps To Take Because I Don't Start The Same Way Every Time. But There Is A Knowing When It's Enough And You Can Leave It Alone.

In The Studio, I Don't Do A Lot Of Work That Requires Repetitive Activity. I Spend A Lot Of Time Looking And Thinking And Then Try To Find The Most Efficient Way To Get What I Want, Whether It's Making A Drawing Or A Sculpture, Or Casting Plaster Or Whatever.

I'm Surprised When The Work Appears Beautiful, And Very Pleased. And I Think Work Can Be Very Good And Very Successful Without Being Able To Call It Beautiful, Although I'm Not Clear About That. The Work Is Good When It Has A Certain Completeness; And When It's Got A Certain Completeness, Then It's Beautiful.

I Want To Be In The Studio. I Want To Be Doing Something. You Just Do Whatever Is At Hand, And You Don't Even Worry About Whether It's Going To Be Interesting Or Not Interesting To Anybody Else-or Even Yourself. You Just Have To Make Something.

If I Was An Artist, And I Was In The Studio, Then Whatever I Was Doing In The Studio Must Be Art.
