My first show sold within the first 3 minutes, and I came back to the studio and spent the next two and a half years making almost nothing

It's precisely in those moments when I don't know what to do, boredom drives one to try a host of possibilities to either get somewhere or not get anywhere.

One does afford oneself the luxury to come into the studio and all day, every day, spend one's life making aesthetic propositions. What an immense luxury

All ideas grow out of other ideas
