Kiki Smith - 'I Make Things to Experience the Process' | TateShots

'I don't question my impetus...I just do it and see what happens,' says artist Kiki Smith.
From her home in New York, which also serves as her studio, Kiki Smith talks about the ongoing experimentation that drives her art, from the provocative sculptures of the female body that made her a leading feminist artist in the 1980s, to her more recent work that draws inspiration from the nature.
'I don't try to set my work on any path or any direction. I really try to follow it,' she says. 'As much as possible I don't question my impetus or motive for doing something. I just do it and then see what happens.'

Her witch prints remind me of Paula Rego's work. Love Kiki's work!

❤

[@JP-dv7rf]

Then why should be interested in the result?

[@billtinquery251]

Artist’s reject her offers of a studio visit because her idea of inspiration is,’what’s yours is what’s mine’.

[@NH-bm9vy]

I'm new to her work. Whose work is she 'inspired' by?

[@oniavandyck2502]

ya estas robando aire y pinche arte .

[@MrPhotodoc]

Oofda. She must have lived a hard life. 59?

[@orphansparrow2]

You must not be used to seeing women without plastic surgery. This is a normal looking 59 year old.

[@sharksport01]

no wonder they barely showed her work....yuck.

[@aaronying4989]

Aha lol I sort of agree, she seemed like a cool person but didn’t really show her works and they didn’t seem that bold or anything. I felt I didn’t see anything.

[@eg-g]

I don't like her work.
