“I want to spend my time between the creation of ideas and the creation...” — Theaster Gates Quote

I want to spend my time between the creation of ideas and the creation of things.

I actually no longer use 'art' as the framing device. I think I'm just kind of practicing things, practicing life, practicing creation.

There were a series of moments when I decided that art was important, and it was an important vehicle for me to express my interest in spaces.

Sometimes the creating that we do is creating a platform that allows other creative people to pitch in.

Everything is raw material to me. Land is raw material... I take one form and transform it into other forms.

I think of myself as a writer who photographs. Images, for me, can be considered poems, short stories or essays. And I've always thought the best place for my photographs was inside books of my own creation.

I've always loved reading and always loved the movies. Storytelling is one of the oldest of human endeavors, and they give us our understanding of the world and our place in it. When I discovered that there were people who professionally were involved in the creation of stories, it was game over - I knew what I wanted to do it.

We must respect the interior laws of creation, of this Earth, to learn these laws and obey them if we want to survive.

What I love about 'Monster Hunter' is the incredibly beautiful, immersive world they've created. It's on the level of, like, a 'Star Wars' movie in terms of world creation.
