About this
video
Inspiration. It looks good, tastes good and feels good.
We are hooked on its revelatory highs and illuminating epiphanies, but
inspiration is fleeting and ephemeral, always leaving us wanting.
Motivation. Whether we are driven by money, neurosis, love, fame or
revenge, our motivation is never as sweet as inspiration, but it does
get us out of bed in the morning. Carin Goldberg shares what has
inspired her work and what has motivated her to work over the last 30
years.
