"I think most artists find it difficult to part with their work but it's the parting that keeps us alive and keeps us working. In the case of the chariot, although it's been sold I actually still have it, just in another form"
- Kit Williams
About this Quote
This quote by Kit Williams talks to the problem of releasing one's work, however likewise the significance of doing so. Williams suggests that it is the parting with our work that keeps us alive and working. He is stating that although it can be difficult to part with something we have produced, it is needed in order to keep producing. Williams likewise suggests that although he has actually offered the chariot, he still has it in another form. This could indicate that he still has the memory of it, or that he has actually kept a piece of it, or that he has taken the lessons he gained from producing it and applied them to his other work. In any case, Williams is emphasizing the value of letting go of our work in order to keep creating.
