"My work is not about my life history. It's not about the story of my neurosis." — Anish Kapoor

Work grows out of other work, and there are very few eureka moments.

What one does in the studio is to pose a series of problems to oneself. I've got to look for some deeper meaning, for some reason for this thing to be in the world. There's enough stuff in the world.

What interests me is the sense of the darkness that we carry within us, the darkness that's akin to one of the principal subjects of the sublime - terror.

The work itself has a complete circle of meaning and counterpoint. And without your involvement as a viewer, there is no story.
