Richard Serra

"What I decided is that what I'm doing in my work right now has nothing to do with specific intentions...If I define a work and sum it up within the boundry of a definition, given my intentions, that seems to be a limitation on me and an imposition on other people of how to think about the work. Finally, it has absolutely nothing to do with my activity or art. I think the significance of the work is in its effort, not its intentions. And that effort is a state of mind, an activity, an interaction with the world."
