“4. stop trying to 'get it'"

“We work in the dark. We do what we can. We give what we have. Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.”

“Making art provides uncomfortably accurate feedback about the gap that inevitably exists between what you intended to do, and what you did. … To all viewers but yourself, what matters is the product; the finished artwork. To you, and you alone, what matters is the process: the experience of shaping that artwork.”

“Every act of perception is to some degree an act of creation, and every act of memory is to some degree an act of imagination.”
