Learn To Recognise When You

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 Like To Combine Different Aspects In My Work, To Cover Different Areas, But I Do See Them As Being Separate.

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.

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.

One Of The Factors That Still Keeps Me In The Studio Is That Every So Often I Have To More Or Less Start All Over.
