One of the things I like about [the characters] – that keeps the creative process interesting for me – is that there is no narrative. There's no storyline that I’m trying to bring forward, I just see them as select forms.’

‘Supergroup is what I needed. And sometimes what you need is all you need.
I’d been working with sleeves on and off for four years, they weren’t right, they weren’t finished. They didn’t have extra extra. They had a verse and bridge but they didn’t have a hook.
Super Group became the hook. Sum, total, whole.’
Richard Prince, 2017

‘For me, a vessel is the simplest image I have got for a held breath. That’s what my vessels are. They contain a series of movements that I have made with the most basic of all materials in the world, which is the earth. And by doing that I am just holding a small part of the world and containing it.’
Edmund de Waal, 2023
