Artist Quote – Henry David Thoreau
“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see”
– Henry David Thoreau
This quote describes what I want people to think when they see my work. I don’t set out an idea when I make artworks, I create the piece and then set out a meaning, of why I made the piece. This is the typical standard of when you’re studying art though. But when I come to exhibit my work, I always value the viewers opinion over my own. I prefer the viewer to create their own view of the work, and I enjoy hearing what they think they see, it interests me to understand how other people think, rather than forcing my opinion onto them.
