A white lace curtain on the window was for me as important as a great work of art. this gossamer quality, the reflection, the form, the movement. i learned more about art from that than i did in school.

Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.

As long as there are cold and nakedness in the land around you, so long can there be no question at all but that splendor of dress is a crime. in due time, when we have nothing better to set people to work at, it may be right to let them make lace and cut jewels; but as long as there are any who have no blankets for their beds, and no rags for their bodies, so long it is blanket-making and tailoring we must set people to work at, not lace.

When we put the antlers on the model and then draped over it the lace embroidery that we had made, we had to poke them through a £2,000 piece of work. but then it worked because it looks like she's rammed the piece of lace with her antlers. there's always spontaneity. you've got to allow for that in my shows.

"now i can make what i want of it: a bow, a spear, a cane, a railing. that's the meaning of life." "your strength?" "your work." he tossed the branch aside. "the material the earth offers you and what you make of it . . .
