Sandy Skoglund Quotes

I think I'm really fortunate to be an installation artist who is heavily invested in photography: I don't have the emotional problems with the loss of work that some installation artists have.

There's something deeply tragic about doing work that you know is temporal.

The installation and the photograph are mere approximations of this ideal.

If you could see a photograph of what it took to make an advertising photograph - things you don't think about, like the photo assistant carefully arranging the meatballs - the degree of unnaturalness would be astonishing. Yet it produces an image that looks natural, and is orchestrated to provoke basic emotional responses.

Obsession and repetition in the process of making things is one constant element in my work.
