If I Was An Artist, And I

When I Was In Art School, I Thought Art Was Something I Would Learn How To Do, And Then I Would Just Do It. At A Certain Point I Realized That It Wasn't Going To Work Like That. Basically, I Would Have To Start Over Every Day And Figure Out What Art Was Going To Be.

I Get The Feeling That Sometimes The Ideas Work Very Well When You're Doing Them In The Studio Alone.

And The Part About Being A Professional Artist Is That You Can Tell, And You Can Do It Over Again, Even If You Can't Say How You Got There Exactly.

But If You Can Find That Spot - I Suppose It's Like Running - I Used To Be A Swimmer And Swim Laps, And You Just Have To Be There With What You're Doing.

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.
