Work Quotes
-
College is a safe space where it can be hard to truly fail. The institution is rooting for you because your failure makes them look bad, too. New York City has no such mandate. I've had to hone and sharpen and refine my work here at a pace which may not have happened in other cities.

Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life?

But for me it was about working rather than being a 'star'.
