When I See A New Artist I

I Am Against The Idea Of The End, That Everything Culminates In Paradise Or Judgment.

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

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.

If I Do Something That Depresses, It's Not Because I'm Depressed, But Because Political Life And History Is Depressing.

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.
