Nije to nešto čime se baviš u slobodno vrijeme. Koreografijom ogromne zmije uzima te cijelog, dok vani ne ostane samo tvoja ljuska. I cipele. Znaš da je kraj tvom životu u ogledalu, i - nikad življi - zahvaljuješ.
U bilo kojem mediju/tehnici/praksi, uvijek su samo dva moguća ishoda: dotaknuo si univerzalno ili je sav tvoj trud tek blebetanje.
Umjetničko djelo jest mudrije od umjetnika. Zanimaju me trenutak, porijeklo i mehanizmi inspiracije, te ushit koji ona donosi.
It's not something you do in your spare time. It takes you whole, by the choreography of a huge snake, until only your shell remains outside. And shoes. You know it's the end of your life in the mirror, and - never more alive – you give thanks.
In any medium/technique/practice there are always only two possible outcomes: you touched the universal or all your effort is just chatter.
Yes, the artwork is wiser than the artist. I am interested in the moment, the origin and mechanisms of inspiration, and the elation it brings.
