Martin Creed, Work No. 583, 2006

I was doing a talk and I was thinking that what I was trying to describe – the process of working – is a process of trying to get from the inside out. Being sick is a good example of that. And it’s a good example of something making something. It puts your insides out. You don’t really know what’s going to come out, it’s painful, but you feel better afterwards. The films are like portraits of people expressing themselves … something uncontrolled. I am sick and tired of thinking. I want my work to be more like a vomit than a rumination. I just want to go ‘Blah!’ or ‘Woosh!’.
(Cited in Creed, Eccles, Gioni and others 2010, p.xvii.)
