Peace, like charity, begins at home.
I was at one point thinking about being an art historian, when I was in school. And not being an artist, but I decided I was going to be an artist but I'm really mad for art history and the masters mostly.
I try not to manipulate reality. . . What will happen, will happen. Let things be themselves.
I liked the idea of the words floating in space and the space behind it moving all the time, ever changing.
I know where the mistakes are. Nothing is perfect and I understand that.
The words represent ideas first of all. That is something you have to understand. I mean, it is not just an object, but it is an object with a history and it is loaded with all kinds of implications and ideas. They exist in the world in a very special way. So they kind of represent some aspect of the world that we perceive, as do photographs, as do drawings of trees or whatever. And they are not a one to one. They are not the world, but they kind of refer to the world and they also exist in the world.
I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.
Change itself is what fascinates me. I am drawn, as a moth to the flame, by edge situations, by situations of metamorphosis.
You go into any doughnut shop and look at three cops having coffee, I guarantee I look like one of them.
To be honest I'd just love to keep writing hits for other people. . . That's kind of my secret dream.
Time is like money, the less we have of it to spare the further we make it go.
