How does any idea come to your mind? I don't know.
Robert Barry
Most of the criticism of my work was pretty good, but occasionally it would not be. And I just sort of felt that they absolutely didn't get what I was doing. It was their limitations on what they thought art should be or what they thought my work should be in relation to earlier work or whatever.
Robert Barry
And the mind actually does generate electrical currents - very weak ones and not necessarily ones that can be picked up by anyone else.
Robert Barry
I wanted my style to be very recognizable.
Robert Barry
reaking up the space and using the space, using the length of the space, the height of it, whatever, the light, all of those things. It's something that you have to kind of slowly recognize in your work and develop over years of making work.
Robert Barry
I was never that big a rock-and-roll, rock guy. I really preferred jazz, you know, that kind of thing.
Robert Barry
