Hopefully if you create something fine, people will relate to it, so you're communicating with people, and you're not in a void. On the other hand, because you're always creating and transforming, art always separates you - always.

The main thing in making art often is letting go of your expectation and your idea.

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.

I think a lot of making art is listening to yourself.

Creating art is painful. It takes time, practice, and the courage to stand alone.

Art is lunging forward without certainty about where you are going or how to get there, being open to and dependent on what luck, the paint, the typo, the dissonance, give you. Without art you're stuck with yourself as you are and life as you think life is.

I mean, making art is about objectifying your experience of the world, transforming the flow of moments into something visual, or textual, or musical, whatever. Art creates a kind of commentary.

When I make art, I think about its ability to connect with others, to bring them into the process.

Art revolves around creating something that isn't there.

In order to figure this artmaking stuff out, it's trial and error and experimentation, and takes some time and hard thinking. Putting work out in many forms and stages is an extension of how I see things. I feel the art process is best served when it invites comments and constructive criticism from people.
