Status Updates From Creative Practices for Visu...

Definitely enjoying this book. I love that he doesn’t show any of the work of the visual artists he interviewed. I think it makes the discussion of process all the more potent. Have to remind myself to slow down and savor these ideas.

Attempting to compress these processes and motivations into the framework of language risks damaging them. Artistic practice is filled with ontologies of cause and effect, where the maker and the thing being made influence each other so profoundly that teasing them apart jeopardizes both. I am quite content to leave mysteries at the heart of the process intact, and to focus attention on the activities and properties.
