My job is art curator, not artist. All I have ever wanted to do is immerse myself in art, to enjoy it, to learn about it, to write about it, to talk to others about it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I knew I was artistic, and I wanted to do something in the arts.
I feel like I became an artist by default. I went to art college, but my interest was always more towards film than painting or sculpture.
I've come up through art school, through painting, through graphic design, through advertising, through TV commercials and music video. I've designed books, built billboards, matchbooks, corporate identities. I continuously paint, I've done conceptual art pictures.
I set my sights upon becoming the kind of artist who would make a contribution to art history.
I try to physically and mentally immerse myself in whatever it is I am doing. That is good for me as an artist. I am always looking for that part that I have never done before, which makes it all the more difficult, because people want to hire you for what they've already seen you do.
I always wanted to be a painter. I loved painting. I went on three different art courses but had no talent whatsoever.
The relationship between art and a job is not quite linear, but I really love any and all manifestations of art, really respect any kind of artistic impulse, whether it's paintings and sculptures or really good filmmaking or music. I really see the relationships between these different mediums as very fluid.
I love painting. I went to college in fine arts, and I still do it all the time.
Writing is my job. I don't think of it as art.
I am a hobbyist photographer so I relate to the visual arts that way, but I'm not a painter.
