Respect

I have this fascination with silver and reflections, particularly crisp bags when they are damp and the sun is out.
Everyone else just stepped over me ... the heat must have bubbled the cloudy pieces but the effect was more dramatic than I had dreamed...

(Judith Acland; notes accompanying a photograph)

Willingness to keep working while people step over you; talk of fascination and dreams: those mark out a serious artist.
