"Art is about finding creativity in the gutter next to you."  --Olafur Eliasson

"Danish artist Olafur Eliasson’s sculptures often draw on natural elements, inspired by the unique Scandinavian landscapes of his childhood. In one of his most famous installations (2014-2018), Eliasson teamed up with geologist Minik Rosing to display fragments of an Arctic iceberg in European cities in order to highlight the climate crisis. His art is very much a product of his surroundings — the ordinary turned extraordinary. Here, Eliasson advises us that our next idea may come from somewhere unexpected; all we have to do is pay attention."  --inspiringquotes.com
