Making beautiful things for everyday use is a wonderful thing to do.. making life flow more easily.. but art confronts life, allowing it to stop and perhaps change direction.. they are completely different.

The elemental world we all live in is the darkness of the body.

I was educated by monks - I thank them dearly for the education they gave me, but I am no longer a Catholic.

Our appearance belongs to others, we live in the darkness of the body-part of all darkness but felt.

It is as much the conversations between objects as between us and objects that make museums so valuable.

I think critics are very useful. But I think that they, in a way, betray their position when they stop people looking for themselves.
