I don't want to think too much about how I'm carving and what I'm carving - you are just carving away the excess clay and there's a piece underneath there. And it's kind of like getting out of the way. Maybe that's what the commonality is: It's getting out of the way so that the art can speak.
Erykah BaduI just keep going. When the water's too still, I start splashing around and things jump out of the water.
Erykah BaduI started performing at two or three on a tape recorder, one of those little flat recorders where you just push play and record.
Erykah BaduThe reason why you don't see people looking like me is because I don't encourage that. I encourage you to be you.
