00:00:18.715 --> 00:00:22.870
I'm pleased that there's a dialog about my work

00:00:22.870 --> 00:00:26.480
but there's some misrepresentation, some people

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.986
may think that my work is just about money.

00:00:29.986 --> 00:00:32.698
Certain aspects of my work are about money because

00:00:32.698 --> 00:00:36.816
my work also talks about desire

00:00:36.816 --> 00:00:39.868
but ahhh... the work's not about money, it's not

00:00:39.868 --> 99:59:59.999
about just making something to sell.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I've learned earlier on, when i always worked

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with ready made objects; that i'd do everything

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to care and protect that ready made and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to preserve it's integrity and every perfection

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and imperpection

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and one day when i make sculpture ahh...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
everything was a fiasco, and ahh... i couldn't save

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the sculpture unless i really did something radical to it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And i realize to that moment that i really didn't care

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
about objects - i cared about people, and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that's where the imperfections were, that's what the perfections were

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that i really cared about.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and so i feel a moral responsability everytime

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
i make something, to give something a hundred

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
per cent because that's what i care about; i care about the view.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You know, specially today it's not unusual for

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
an artist that large studios...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if you're interested in making more than one painting

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a year or if you're interested in making more than

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
one sculpture, you have to be able to have support.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I like to work with people because i don't wanna be in

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a room by myself. I mean, i love the sense of family

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that i have with my studio.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's part of business aspect of work and making

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
things you don't have to look at the bottom line on

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
each issue. If you want to create something, even

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
though it's impractical and usually they're really, but

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the best things are impractical. In great art usually

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is very impractical, you know you can just go about

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you can make it. You really don't have any

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
choice, cause if you're making your work:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you have to do it.
