I have been in competitions for commissions. I've won most and lost some. Mostly, I've won.
Robert BarryI don't have a dream project. I don't really think in those terms, to tell you the truth.
Robert BarryI just try things and whether people like it or if I find it successful or not, I just do it.
Robert BarryThe words represent ideas first of all. That is something you have to understand. I mean, it is not just an object, but it is an object with a history and it is loaded with all kinds of implications and ideas. They exist in the world in a very special way. So they kind of represent some aspect of the world that we perceive, as do photographs, as do drawings of trees or whatever. And they are not a one to one. They are not the world, but they kind of refer to the world and they also exist in the world.
