The Mantle
“Working with William [Kentridge] has allowed me to know that while there are processes I think could be interesting, I seldom know the outcome. I have to trust the process, trust that some things don’t work, but you shouldn’t fear that, just say, ‘Let’s see what happens.’ An element of chance or risk, because you’re not aware where it’ll end. It’s not like some compositions, where you know where every note will land, soft or loud. With none of this work did I have an idea, when I started, what I’d end up with. Not one in the Paper Music Suite.”
