00:00:48,204 --> 00:00:57,675
If I were a better artist or something, I would have really tried these many, hundreds of times.

2
00:00:58,358 --> 00:01:05,758
Different strings, and different situations, I didn't wanna know them too well.

3
00:01:13,265 --> 00:01:20,445
A lot of my work is about not being able to do something well.

4
00:01:20,445 --> 00:01:24,145
It tries to locate itself in a place where

5
00:01:24,145 --> 00:01:32,364
An appreciation of craft is not necessarily a part of the appreciation of the piece.

6
00:01:34,901 --> 00:01:41,952
I mean nobody could tell me how to do the craftsmanship that's in this piece.

7
00:01:41,952 --> 00:01:44,902
It comes, really, from inside.

8
00:01:51,094 --> 00:01:58,176
One of the important things about these pieces is where one string will cross another.

9
00:01:58,176 --> 00:02:05,352
And in some cases, they burn into the string underneath so in terms of purposes,

10
00:02:05,352 --> 00:02:10,129
They form a film, in other cases, they don't.

11
00:02:10,129 --> 00:02:25,073
Like in the last one, the first one sinks in by weight and the second one burns, staying on top.

12
00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:36,174
So the notion of being an illusion is also explained in this kind of seam of overlapping.

13
00:02:41,057 --> 00:02:49,258
And whether it's a real overlap or an illusion, or rather the real looks of an illusion,

14
00:02:49,258 --> 00:02:56,129
I mean, that's my favorite part of the whole piece. And maybe the whole piece is about.

15
00:03:04,723 --> 00:03:08,626
Because most of my work is non-illusionistic.

16
00:03:08,626 --> 00:03:15,048
And so the illusion, if there is an illusion, is actually real.

17
00:03:15,534 --> 00:03:21,900
But in these pieces, it gets turned around and the fun, the real kind of yuck yuck fun,

18
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:34,666
Is when they actually, the real looks like an illusion- so the childlike quality.

19
00:03:38,248 --> 00:03:46,186
Okay. So that's happy, happy living together, I think.
