One of the factors that still keeps me in the studio is that every so often I have to more or less start all over.
And then what makes the work interesting is if you choose the right questions.
I get the feeling that sometimes the ideas work very well when you're doing them in the studio alone.
But part of the enjoyment I take in it is finding the most efficient way to do it, which doesn't mean the corrections aren't made. I like to have a feeling of the whole task before I start, even if it changes.
And the part about being a professional artist is that you can tell, and you can do it over again, even if you can't say how you got there exactly.
I like to combine different aspects in my work, to cover different areas, but I do see them as being separate.
But if you can find that spot - I suppose it's like running - I used to be a swimmer and swim laps, and you just have to be there with what you're doing.
Sometimes I just have a few people over to see the new work, and I think it works better than in a museum situation, where the public is just presented with a large area.
It's just strange to think about...whether I'll be an artist or what I'll be doing.
