0:00:15.226,0:00:15.227
I'm pleased that there's a dialog about my work

0:00:19.289,0:00:19.290
but there's some misrepresentation, some people

0:00:23.936,0:00:23.937
may think that my work is just about money.

0:00:28.014,0:00:28.015
Certain aspects of my work are about money because

0:00:32.000,0:00:32.001
my work also talks about desire

0:00:36.632,0:00:36.632
but ahhh... the work's not about money, it's not

0:00:36.632,0:00:36.633
about just making something to sell.

0:00:42.308,0:00:42.309
I've learned earlier on, when Ι always worked

0:00:47.325,0:00:47.325
with ready made objects; that Ι'd do everything

0:00:47.325,0:00:47.326
to care and protect that ready made and

0:00:51.231,0:00:51.232
to preserve each integrity and every perfection

0:00:55.232,0:00:55.233
and imperfection

0:01:00.202,0:01:00.203
and one day when I made a sculpture ahh...

0:01:04.127,0:01:04.127
everything was a fiasco, and ahh... I couldn't save

0:01:04.127,0:01:04.128
the sculpture unless I really did something radical to it.

0:01:13.245,0:01:13.245
And I've realized to that moment that I really didn't care

0:01:13.245,0:01:13.246
about objects - I cared about people, and

0:01:16.943,0:01:16.944
that's where the imperfections were, that's where the perfections were

0:01:24.022,0:01:24.023
that I really cared about.

0:01:28.962,0:01:28.962
And so I feel a moral responsibility everytime

0:01:28.962,0:01:28.963
I make something, to give something a hundred

0:01:33.164,0:01:33.165
per cent because that's what I care about; I care about the view.

0:01:41.074,0:01:41.075
You know, especially today it's not unusual for

0:01:49.476,0:01:49.476
artist that large, studios...

0:01:49.476,0:01:49.477
if you're interested in making more than one painting

0:01:57.248,0:01:57.248
a year or if you're interested in making more than

0:01:57.248,0:01:57.249
one sculpture, you have to be able to have support.

0:02:05.286,0:02:05.287
I like to work with people because I don't wanna be in

0:02:08.379,0:02:08.380
a room by myself. I mean, I love the sense of family

0:02:12.195,0:02:12.196
that I have with my studio.

0:02:15.611,0:02:15.612
It's part of business aspect of work and making

0:02:19.612,0:02:19.613
things you don't have to look at the bottom line on

0:02:23.967,0:02:23.968
each issue. If you want to create something, even

0:02:28.076,0:02:28.077
though it's impractical and usually they're really.

0:02:32.092,0:02:32.093
The best things are impractical. Great art usually

0:02:35.308,0:02:35.309
is very impractical, you know you can just go about

0:02:39.447,0:02:39.448
and you can make it. You really don't have any

0:02:42.818,0:02:42.818
choice, cause if you're making your work:

0:02:42.818,0:02:42.819
you have to do it.
