Richard Wentworth on Bob Richmond –

“We should pay more attention to the accidents of learning and the delights of cross pollination, the smudges and overlays which are a commonplace in the arts and humanities, the same shimmer and blurring which are often the catalysts for permission and discovery in the sciences. Sharing experience with enough humility is a trigger for fertilising the most tentative thoughts, the release agent for creative confidence.”
