“In the film I show paintings that I love – Monet, Picasso, Francis Bacon. I need them. But we had to buy the rights to show them. Buy the rights to show something that you love. Can you believe that? In the time of the nouvelle vague you could just put images on the wall. Now they have agents like monsters. To show a Francis Bacon for less than 10 seconds, I think I paid €4,000.”
Agnés Varda, discussing her new documentary The Beaches of Agnès – The Guardian.

“…whose poetic images captured daily life in Paris and Provence.”
“
Men at forty
Learn to close softly
The doors to rooms they will not be
Coming back to.

Below the Feet by Will Luers at shasei:
“I like the surprises when I use the Quad iphone app spontaneously. The display, unfocused images and all, are like a record of perception, of the process of noticing things in the peripheries.”
The purposes of the pieces is to express emotions.
My emotions are inappropriate to my size.
My emotions are my demons.
It is not the emotions themselves, it is the intensity of the emotions which are much too much for me to handle.
That is why I transfer them, transfer the energy, into sculpture.
This applies to everything I do.
It has nothing to do with the craft, it has nothing to do with how to manage materials.
The materials are not the subject of the artist.
The subject of the artist is emotions and ideas.
