lovefuckingly: 2012

"When you discuss your own work you have to ask yourself what you acquired from whom. Because everything you find comes from somewhere. The source was not your own mind, but was supplied by the cultures you belong to.

Everything that is absorbed and registered in your mind adds to the collection of ideas stored in the memory; a sort of library you can consult whenever a problem arises. So essentially, the more you have seen, experienced and absorbed, the more points of reference you will have to help you decide which direction to take"
