1
00:00:18,715 --> 00:00:22,870
I'm pleased that there's a dialog about my work

2
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:26,480
but there's some misrepresentation, some people

3
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,986
may think that my work is just about money.

4
00:00:29,986 --> 00:00:32,698
Certain aspects of my work are about money because

5
00:00:32,698 --> 00:00:36,816
my work also talks about desire

6
00:00:36,816 --> 00:00:39,868
but ahhh... the work's not about money, it's not

7
00:00:39,868 --> 99:59:59,999
about just making something to sell.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I've learned earlier on, when i always worked

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with ready made objects; that i'd do everything

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to care and protect that ready made and

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to preserve it's integrity and every perfection

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and imperpection

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and one day when i make sculpture ahh...

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
everything was a fiasco, and ahh... i couldn't save

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the sculpture unless i really did something radical to it.

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And i realize to that moment that i really didn't care

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
about objects - i cared about people, and

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that's where the imperfections were, that's what the perfections were

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that i really cared about.

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and so i feel a moral responsability everytime

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
i make something, to give something a hundred

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
per cent because that's what i care about; i care about the view.

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You know, specially today it's not unusual for

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
an artist that large studios...

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
if you're interested in making more than one painting

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a year or if you're interested in making more than

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
one sculpture, you have to be able to have support.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I like to work with people because i don't wanna be in

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a room by myself. I mean, i love the sense of family

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that i have with my studio.

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's part of business aspect of work and making

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
things you don't have to look at the bottom line on

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
each issue. If you want to create something, even

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
though it's impractical and usually they're really, but

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the best things are impractical. In great art usually

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is very impractical, you know you can just go about

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and you can make it. You really don't have any

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
choice, cause if you're making your work:

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you have to do it.
