WHAT IS THE MOST VALUABLE PIECE OF ARTISTIC ADVICE YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED, AND FROM WHO?
“If you can’t see it it, it’s not there”—Richard Taylor, 1970. Meaning, if something’s not visible to the naked eye when projected and moving, either, for instance, because it’s too small, too detailed, or behind something else, then you might as well not have done the work.
