“The more I drive myself into the depth of my inside, the more things come up to my vision, visibly or invisibly... I even do not know if I am seeing them with my eye or with my mind. I just need to copy them on my canvases. But this mental process is always overwhelming. I often have hard time to deal with my emotion on this state. You could call this depression on surface? But actually, so many 're-birth' and 'reform' are going on on my thoughts, inspiration, philosophy...etc in the underwater. I believe this struggle make my art real. My art always comes from my emotion.” IfsKnowsNeedsMindBelieveArtRealHardStatesPhilosophyInspirationEyeI BelieveProcessDealsEmotionVisionStruggleSeeingBirthDepthCome UpSurfaceReformHard TimesEtcCopiesOverwhelmingMy ThoughtsUnderwater Author:Hiroko Sakai

“Coming up with lectures is a huge amount of work. I was willing to do one lecture for Gresham because I was honored to have been invited, but to create lectures for a class would probably require that I shut down everything else and concentrate on lectures for a couple of years. Then there would be many, many other skills that I'd have to learn, such as how to sit through a faculty meeting, how to deal with students, etc. It is really not in the cards for me. It's not who I am or what I do. I'm a novelist.” YearsHas BeensWould BeDealsClassStudentsWillingHugeAmountCoupleSkillsMeetingsWho I AmCardsNovelistsEtcFacultyHonoredInvitedLectures Author:Neal Stephenson
