As a critic and as a studio assistant, your focus is on established artists and their work. You have to shift gears from your own practice to how the process of production works on a large scale and understanding their voice. You have to quiet your own voice so you can listen to them. I have learned so much concentrating so intently on other artists. I really admire Jan (Huttner from FF2), Carole and Michael. You have to be an entrepreneur and a high profile artist or writer. It's a huge responsibility. I think often about how I would operate my practice at that level of success.
