If we are overproducing, how can we justify making art?
We are sitting in London, where there are millions of tonnes of material being used at this instant - bits of paper, pizzas, furniture, cars. How many kilograms of sculpture and art are being made? Very, very few.
The repetitiveness of producing useless things fills up the world with insensibility. When an artist takes a small amount of material and endows it with an enormous amount of concentration, energy and intelligence, that’s a very different usage of material.
