“The need to make images must come first. Making should be a compulsion, not a subsidized research project.”<\/h1>\n

Do you think that one of the basic driving forces must be to show imagery that has not been seen before?<\/strong>
\nI’m not sure. Yes, possibly. But it is never that simple. Does this mean that images of the far side of the moon are the most compelling? I think not. The need to make images must come first. Making should be a compulsion, not a subsidized \u2018research project\u2019.<\/p>\n

Making art is a laborious\u00a0<\/strong>activity. Don\u2019t computers make it too easy?<\/strong>
\nPerhaps some things are easier. Actually they are just a tool comparable to a ruler or a French curve. It is like saying \u201cIf you can type, you can write a book.\u201d
\nSo here is a pencil, become an artist!<\/p>\n

Does it concern you how people view your work?<\/strong>
\nEveryone has a valid opinion and will view the work in different ways. Of course I\u2019m concerned but I realise it is a fruitless anxiety.<\/p>\n
