Specialist note

‘That’s the interesting thing about art: that somehow, you use your material to make something that results in something beautiful, via a path no-one has yet trodden. First you take a step towards ugliness and then, somehow or other, you wind up where it’s beautiful.’ – Albert Oehlen
