Dependence on inspiration means dependence on consciousness,
a growing consciousness that develops from awareness of
beauty and happiness.
To live and work by inspiration you have to stop thinking.
You have to hold your mind still in order to hear inspiration clearly.

We do not always create works of art,
but rather experiments.
It’s not our intention to fill museums,

I know that many artists work in the dark
not knowing where to begin until they do.

Simon McBurney in his book about the stage production A Disappearing Number
The best way to come to an understanding of art
is to spend time with it. Art is its own best teacher.
