Quotes
David Hammons: You can never be original. That is impossible, so we are all influenced and affected by other great artists and you call on them when you need them when you are making a piece or you try to oppress them when you are making a piece and not be influenced by them. Which is also very difficult, to not be influenced by the heroes. Because we are all trying to find our own language. And you never know when you've found that language or not. It is up to the viewer to decide if you've arrived.
