What I Am Really Concerned

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

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.

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.

My Work Is Basically An Outgrowth Of The Anger I Feel About The Human Condition. The Aspects Of It That Make Me Angry Are Our Capacity For Cruelty And The Ability People Have To Ignore Situations They Don't Like.

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.
