In this he mentioned the importance of skin as surface and how this is a large part of his work. I especially like the idea of skin as the seat of all senses.
"Playing with surfaces and the appearances of things, Anish Kapoor makes skin a powerful image in understanding his work. Skin, the seat of all sensations, marks a barrier between an interior and an exterior. In this double connection, Anish Kapoor’s works are typically “places of sensations” and markers of barriers. The concept of skin therefore designates the search for an art that finds the deeper meaning on the surface. It is in physical sensation that the artwork reveals its profundity. In this manner, whether through monumental sculptures in PVC membrane (Marsyas, 2002) or the reflecting surfaces of mirror sculptures (C-Curve, 2007), revelation is situated in the skin."
