moving mystery wells
Time is the great mystery anyway. And it's still the great mystery in the moving picture as well.
moving drawing race
Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
wall moving lasts
The pictures on the walls aren't like movies. They don't move, they don't talk, and they'll last longer. They will last longer.
moving reflection mirrors
We all know a mirror reflects us, if you look in it. If you move, the reflection moves. If you project from a mirror, meaning it will project an image, it's nothing to do with you. The world seen by nobody.
moving becoming different
Television is becoming a collage - there are so many channels that you move through them making a collage yourself. In that sense, everyone sees something a bit different.
moving editing way
The editing of moving pictures is geared toward the single image. You'd have to edit things in new ways.
moving thinking get-better
I think we're in a very exciting time - visually, I think we are. I've not got a crystal ball. I'm not saying I know what the future is at all. In some ways I'm getting quite pessimistic about the future, but in other ways I think it might get better. We are moving into very big changes.
art moving design
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
quite
Well, I was amazed, really. I mean, only because of the other company. I was quite amazed.
liberty serious speak subject
Someone has to speak up. It's a serious subject because really the subject is liberty.
technology
I go and see anything that's visually new, any technology that's about picture-making. The technology won't make the pictures different, but someone using it will.
nature
To me, the world's rather beautiful if you look at it. Especially nature.
people
I generally only paint people I know, I'm not a flatterer really.
bring drive family liked mean perhaps quite
I think my father would have liked to have been an artist, actually. But I think he didn't quite have perhaps the drive or, I don't know, I mean he had a family to bring up I suppose.
