I am trying to present objects in the simplest way possible, and I don't want to supply too much context.
Michael Craig-MartinWhen I was teaching I often said to students that you are trying to be too creative, don't be too creative, because there is so much already in what you are making, you don't need to do very much. You just need to do a little bit, and that is a lot.
Michael Craig-MartinI do think I paid a price as an artist, and I am trying to make up for it now - I work six days a week in the studio, and I've never been happier.
Michael Craig-MartinAt the Summer Exhibition, I didn't really change anything; it's the same exhibition. All I changed is the presentation. I didn't really change the rules.
Michael Craig-MartinIt's important for me to give each thing the possibility to speak and also to allow artworks speak to each other.
Michael Craig-MartinThere was something really wonderful about being able to feel confident about doing my first exhibition in China, that people would have no trouble recognising the images and understanding my work. I also have a lot of freedom in the way I use colour, and I think that kind of freedom in colour is also understandable in every culture.
