“Good art has a ring of truth to it — a sense that something permanently important about the world has been made clear”

“The world we see today is the legacy of people noticing the world and commenting on it in forms that have been preserved… the world became a subtly larger, richer, more complex and meaningful place as a result.”

“The truly special moments in art making lie in those moments when concept is converted to reality — those moments when the gulf is being crossed. Precise descriptions fail, but it connects to that wonderful condition in which the work seems to make itself and the artist serves only as a guide or mediator, allowing all things to be possible.”
