Lot Essay

When I’m inspired to create, it’s not any profound process. It’s more like I have an antenna and pick up something—a word or image—and do a little memo, scribble, or sketch. After that, because of what must be some sort of mental disability, I forget absolutely everything and go back to my daily routine. When I eventually look through those sketches and memos, I discover all these things I can’t imagine I’ve thought of, and there’s a big surprise. Takashi Murakami
