talking about looking


I find it extremely difficult to speak about art and am interested in reading writings and interviews written or given by artists. Any recommendations?

Came across this interview with Steve Kim- Korean-American painter

"Drawing is different though because you can do it by yourself, without anyone looking over your shoulder, without having to perform and be the thing, itself, gathering attention. There’s a distance in time and space between you and your art. With music the art and the maker is fused. Not that making art is easy. Even though I draw and paint now. And have my BFA, MFA and look like I know what I’m doing. It’s all happened through small spurts of activity. I’ve had long stretches of inactivity and procrastination and doing-nothingness. I’m just now coming to terms with it."
