I do not mind objects, but I do not care to make them.
The object – by virtue of being a unique commodity – becomes something that might make it impossible for people to see the art for the forest.
People, buying my stuff, can take it wherever they go and can rebuild it if they choose. If they keep it in their heads, that’s fine too. They don’t have to buy it to have it – they can have it just by knowing it. Anyone making a reproduction of my art is making art just as valid as art as if I had made it.
