00:00:15.226 --> 00:00:15.227
I'm pleased that there's a dialog about my work

00:00:19.289 --> 00:00:19.290
but there's some misrepresentation, some people

00:00:23.936 --> 00:00:23.937
may think that my work is just about money.

00:00:28.014 --> 00:00:28.015
Certain aspects of my work are about money because

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:32.001
my work also talks about desire

00:00:36.632 --> 00:00:36.632
but ahhh... the work's not about money, it's not

00:00:36.632 --> 00:00:36.633
about just making something to sell.

00:00:42.308 --> 00:00:42.309
I've learned earlier on, when i always worked

00:00:47.325 --> 00:00:47.325
with ready made objects; that i'd do everything

00:00:47.325 --> 00:00:47.326
to care and protect that ready made and

00:00:51.231 --> 00:00:51.232
to preserve it's integrity and every perfection

00:00:55.232 --> 00:00:55.233
and imperfection

00:01:00.202 --> 00:01:00.203
and one day when i made sculpture ahh...

00:01:04.127 --> 00:01:04.127
everything was a fiasco, and ahh... i couldn't save

00:01:04.127 --> 00:01:04.128
the sculpture unless i really did something radical to it.

00:01:13.245 --> 00:01:13.245
And i've realized to that moment that i really didn't care

00:01:13.245 --> 00:01:13.246
about objects - i cared about people, and

00:01:16.943 --> 00:01:16.944
that's where the imperfections were, that's where the perfections were

00:01:24.022 --> 00:01:24.023
that i really cared about.

00:01:28.962 --> 00:01:28.962
and so i feel a moral responsability everytime

00:01:28.962 --> 00:01:28.963
i make something, to give something a hundred

00:01:33.164 --> 00:01:33.165
per cent because that's what i care about; i care about the view.

00:01:41.074 --> 00:01:41.075
You know, specially today it's not unusual for

00:01:49.476 --> 00:01:49.476
artist that large, studios...

00:01:49.476 --> 00:01:49.477
if you're interested in making more than one painting

00:01:57.248 --> 00:01:57.248
a year or if you're interested in making more than

00:01:57.248 --> 00:01:57.249
one sculpture, you have to be able to have support.

00:02:05.286 --> 00:02:05.287
I like to work with people because i don't wanna be in

00:02:08.379 --> 00:02:08.380
a room by myself. I mean, i love the sense of family

00:02:12.195 --> 00:02:12.196
that i have with my studio.

00:02:15.611 --> 00:02:15.612
It's part of business aspect of work and making

00:02:19.612 --> 00:02:19.613
things you don't have to look at the bottom line on

00:02:23.967 --> 00:02:23.968
each issue. If you want to create something, even

00:02:28.076 --> 00:02:28.077
though it's impractical and usually they're really.

00:02:32.092 --> 00:02:32.093
The best things are impractical. Great art usually

00:02:35.308 --> 00:02:35.309
is very impractical, you know you can just go about

00:02:39.447 --> 00:02:39.448
and you can make it. You really don't have any

00:02:42.818 --> 00:02:42.818
choice, cause if you're making your work:

00:02:42.818 --> 00:02:42.819
you have to do it.
