- Travel when you can and bring all your travel experiences to bear on your work
- Allow for the possibility of something unexpected, new and wonderful to happen

Anatsui’s edict for himself and his students is to derive inspiration and materials from their respective environments. He proves that art material need not be expensive. He urges sensitive mindfulness in order to utilize“whatever the environment throws up” — not simply organic materials and natural resources but also the discarded, over-looked detritus of society such as bottle caps and tin milk cans.
