If I were a better artist or something, I would have really tried these many, hundreds of times.

00:00:58.358 --> 00:01:05.758
Different strings, and different situations, I didn't wanna know them too well.

00:01:13.265 --> 00:01:20.445
A lot of my work is about not being able to do something well.

00:01:20.445 --> 00:01:24.145
It tries to locate itself in a place where

00:01:24.145 --> 00:01:32.364
An appreciation of craft is not necessarily a part of the appreciation of the piece.

00:01:34.901 --> 00:01:41.952
I mean nobody could tell me how to do the craftsmanship that's in this piece.

00:01:41.952 --> 00:01:44.902
It comes, really, from inside.

00:01:51.094 --> 00:01:58.176
One of the important things about these pieces is where one string will cross another.

00:01:58.176 --> 00:02:05.352
And in some cases, they burn into the string underneath so in terms of purposes,

00:02:05.352 --> 00:02:10.129
They form a film, in other cases, they don't.

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.

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.

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,

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.

00:03:04.723 --> 00:03:08.626
Because most of my work is non-illusionistic.

00:03:08.626 --> 00:03:15.048
And so the illusion, if there is an illusion, is actually real.

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,

00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:34.666
Is when they actually, the real looks like an illusion- so the childlike quality.

00:03:38.248 --> 00:03:46.186
Okay. So that's happy, happy living together, I think.
