Richard Serra

The work has to be self-evident.

My work is about the physicality of seeing.

I'm interested in the relationship between inside and outside.

The work is not a symbol; it's a fact.

My work is about the present moment.

I'm interested in the experience of time and space.

The work is not about me; it's about the viewer.

My work is about the limits of perception.

I'm interested in the tension between order and chaos.

The work has to be physically engaging.

My work is about the experience of being in the world.

I'm interested in the relationship between the body and space.

The work is not a picture; it's an environment.

My work is about the act of looking and moving.

I'm interested in the experience of disorientation.

The work has to be physically present.

My work is about the direct encounter.

I'm interested in the experience of enclosure and openness.

The work is not a narrative; it's an event.

My work is about the experience of gravity.
