I like to mix pieces in my art direction from the '60s or the '40s and the '90s and present-day stuff. To me, that feels very real. When I go into people's houses, it's not all today.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Art-making was part of my daily life from a very young age, and I still love that kind of everyday art-making.
My whole artistic life has always been about change, change, change, move on, move on. It's the only thing I find interesting.
I'm really into California art from the '60s.
In the mid- to late '60s to the mid-'70s, when I was a student, there was a major change in the thinking about what art can be and how art is made.
I don't like a lot of the stuff that goes on in the art world, but it's hard to be old and like what goes on around you.
When I was growing up, in the '80s and '90s, I just never really saw myself reflected in the things that I had a liking for. It makes a difference.
I like to mix it up, but I do like a lot of '60s fashion. But I like to make it a bit more edgier, sometimes a bit more rockier, sometimes a bit more classic.
When I look at great works of art or listen to inspired music, I sense intimate portraits of the specific times in which they were created.
I love the idea of modern art in a home that isn't totally modern. There's a certain energy that comes out of that juxtaposition.
If you really want to be an artist, you search yourself, and you find a lot of it comes from earlier times. I have pretty much built the work around my experiences. When I've moved from one place to another, the work has changed.
