How does any idea come to your mind? I don't know.

I relied mainly on other artists, who I think are smarter than critics, any critics or curators or anybody like that. They really know.

People who look at art don't really - don't go with the artist. They don't sort of accept what he or she has done and kind of go with it. There are always - either there's too much color or not enough color, either it's not conceptual enough or it's too conceptual. In other words, most criticism isn't what the viewer expected that it would do based on what they think you have done and that's good as far as I'm concerned.

reaking up the space and using the space, using the length of the space, the height of it, whatever, the light, all of those things. It's something that you have to kind of slowly recognize in your work and develop over years of making work.

Art was something that I was really interested in, probably more so than writing or anything else.

You can't make somebody care about what you're doing. Either they get it, either there's that connection - or they don't.

I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.
