One of the things you do when you make a piece of art is you try to make the world you'd rather be in.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To create a work of art is to create the world.
Through art, you create your own world.
Art is the only thing that can save me from my opinions about the world. I tend to get very worked up about what I see going on, and I feel, you know, impotent to make the kind of changes and the kind of difference that I would like to make.
What we want from art is whatever is missing from the lives we are already living and making. Something is always missing, and so art-making is endless.
What is the art world? I never really understood. I started doing this stuff to do what I want to do. Not to be this or that.
It's kind of not about the quality of the art, as much as this is what I love doing and I'd have a worse time doing anything else. That's kind of as far as I think in terms of philosophy.
I would never live in anything I design. Life and art are different. My life is very precious to me - my art is precious to me. I love designing things for other people, but I don't like designing things for myself.
If you stuck me in a room and gave me art-making tools but told me no one would ever see the results, I don't think I'd have much desire to make art. What I do comes from a deep desire to be seen and to see others.
I think there are a lot more important things than art in the world. But not to me.
I don't want life to imitate art. I want life to be art.
