Rijksakademie Internal Open Studios – 07.09.20. “I try to confront how much [work] I have.” – SMW. “Destroying art pieces or not…” – Anon. “If you keep them, how long can you care for them?

“When do we become… an adult or anything else?” – AC. “It wasn’t about youth, it was about experience. I used to say ‘I’m 21, I’m 21’, and my friends would say ‘What will you say when you are 46?’ ‘I’m 46, I’m 46’.” – SMW.
