Tara Donovan Quotes

The images for my works are somewhat insignificant to me. It became an exercise of variation. I only see the surface images as doodles in a sketchbook, but it's hard to not see an image and bring some kind of personal association, though there's not a prescribed idea of what you're supposed to see.

I don't think inspiration just comes from the sky. I think you have to sit down and you have to work. Sometimes it's really hard, and sometimes things come easier, but really you have to show up, you have to get to work, and you have to have determination.

The image itself is kind of the least important factor to me, though I'm still interested in putting forth an interesting image. I see the image as the screen laid over top of what really interests me, which is that depth of surface and that filmic quality that it has when you pass the piece. The idea that my pieces look like paintings, but are most definitely not, is really interesting to me.
