What Art Does
“What’s the impulse behind art? It’s saying in whatever language is the language of your work...
If I could move you as much as it moved me … if I can move anyone a tenth as much as that moved me, if I can spark the same sense of mystery and awe and surprise as that sparked in me, well that’s why I do what I do.
What art does — maybe what it does most completely — is tell us, make us feel that what we think we know, we don’t.”
