If you asked me what is the basis of all my work, it's the feeling there's something basically wrong with human beings.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For me, a lot of my work has dealt with what it means to be at the center of the universe and how alienating and kind of seductive it is. A lot of my work is very aggressive and very visual, but at the same time, it has a lot of tension in it and makes you kind of uncomfortable sometimes.
I think I'd say that my whole body of work is a reflection of who I am, but not any one specific thing.
But when it comes to writing the thing that I've sort of been thinking about lately, is why? You know, is it rational? Is it logical that anybody should be expected to be afraid of the work that they feel they were put on this Earth to do.
Every now and then, I feel terribly uncomfortable with what I'm working on, and then I think maybe I am an artist. I'm not very articulate about it, but I do know that you have to follow your gut.
I don't want to say work is who I am, but some people feel more centered and more whole when they're producing and creating.
My work reflects a relationship to the built world that shifts between control and randomness, strangeness and beauty, comfort and fear.
My work always presents problems in our society. Those problems may be anything from injustice to freedom, and everything related to humanity.
I think there's a lot to be said about just enjoying your work. It can be very contrived when people say their work is for the good of mankind.
There are things we can control and the things we can't control. I can't control how people react to the work I do.
I feel that my work is not in vain, that it does have a place in society, even though it may not be considered that it has a place in society - it doesn't matter.
