"Often when you're in the process of realizing an image, it's going somewhere else. If that tangent starts going off in a place that feels more exciting, that's what I go with."

"There’s a reason I’m anonymous in my work. I like to be absolutely out of view and out of earshot. I don’t sign my work because I think that would diminish its effectiveness. It would be the work of just one person. I would like it to be more useful than that- to be of utility to as many people as possible. I think if it were attributed to me it would be easier to toss. I want people to concentrate on the content of the work and not whodunit."
- Jenny Holzer
