Brockman: ‘I do not concern myself with how the student made it, only what he makes...pointing out its defects and shortcomings. Perhaps many attempts may be made - always going towards the goal of completeness or perfection... I like problems always problems...time does not matter - perhaps he takes a month do it - a week, a month, six months this does not matter.’ (Ted Odling notebook entry 10 November 1965)
Things progress but slowly at this end, rather like the currants in the workhouse Christmas pudding, the worthwhile bits are rather well spaced out. (Ted Odling - Letter to Harry Barnes 3rd Nov 65)
