Stephen Farthing

I listened to Stephen Farthing and felt some affinity with things he was saying.

For example he said that it is important to enjoy your work. If you don't enjoy what you are doing, then you are probably doing the wrong thing.

I also liked the way his work grows in the studio, it isn't all mapped out in his head beforehand. He is "constructing realities, not observing realities". This is how I work.

And it's good to hear some other things, too, just small details. Like the fact that he paints while listening to Talk Radio and can't paint to music, because music affects his work.
