\u201cAlways take yourself seriously\u2026 it\u2019s not the same as being pompous, or overly self-assured, but it is important to understand that the small little ideas that creep up in your mind, often contain the germ of a much larger project. All great art wasn\u2019t born as great art. It first needed to be recognized by the artist him\/herself. Through his or her belief in it, it became true.\u201d \u2014 Wolfgang Tillmans <\/p>\n
