I'd have to say I've become more aware of my communal responsibility.
From Jeff Koons
If you have an idea, you have to move on it, to make a gesture. Drawing is an immediate way of articulating that idea - of making a gesture that is both physical and intellectual.
If I try to articulate every little detail in a drawing, it would be like missing the forest for the trees, so it's just about getting the outline of the forest.
I believe that my art gets across the point that I'm in this morality theater trying to help the underdog, and I'm speaking socially here, showing concern and making psychological and philosophical statements for the underdog.
I use printers to make prints of the images that I am creating. And I try to have that surface kind of replicated in the painting.
Even in making objects, as soon as you start to get the feeling that some form of craft is coming into place, you realize that everything is wrong. Because craft is really just a fetish. It is wasted energy. It's about the object, some space which has nothing to do with the human.
I think about my work every minute of the day.
Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.
Pretty mundane closet, but a lot of ties. And I tend not to throw anything out, so I have a lot of clothes from all times from my life. I can be a little sentimental with things like that.
Art has this ability to allow you to connect back through history in the same way that biology does. I'm always looking for source material.
