Art Is Difficult. It's Not Entertainment. There

I Believe Art Has To Take Responsibility But It Should Not Give Up Being Art.

What Does The Artist Do? He Draws Connections. He Ties The Invisible Threads Between Things. He Dives Into History, Be It The History Of Mankind, The Geological History Of The Earth Or The Beginning And End Of The Manifest Cosmos.

Art Really Is Something Very Difficult. It Is Difficult To Make, And It Is Sometimes Difficult For The Viewer To Understand. It Is Difficult To Work Out What Is Art And What Is Not Art.

As An Artist You Have To Find Something That Deeply Interests You. It's Not Enough To Make Art That Is About Art, To Look At Matisse And Picasso And Say, How Can I Paint Like Them? You Have To Be Obsessed By Something That Can't Come Out In Any Other Way, Then The Other Things - The Skill And Technique - Will Follow.

I Believe In Empty Spaces; They're The Most Wonderful Thing.
