Celebrity culture is something that pains me.
I think you're not really teaching anyone unless you're learning yourself.
I thought of the structure as musical. The first piece, for instance, contains the namessubject matter of every person to come in the book. Like a piece of music with themes, etc.
Recalling, for me, is a great way of living, so not to forget.
I feel like there are so few girls in New York like that anymore, who are not focused on getting a man with money.
I think I'm just generally more interested in figuration than abstraction. I think that painting abstraction often feels like painting colors to me, whereas portraits always feel like something connected. I like the exchange, the collaborative aspect of sitter and subject for sure.
I think it's cultural racism more than anything, which dovetails with actual racism, but the cultural racism to me is even more shocking.
A lot of the time I tend to overlook the music because I'm listening to how it's produced.
I love the idea of species fluidity, I guess, the sense of the maiden inherent in the swan or seal, the youth inherent in the bear or deer. After all, human beings are animals.
Shading is more like copying. And certainly I do copy, but I'm making drawings, and I'm not trying to make them with the shading.
In every victory, Let it be said of me. . . My source of strength, My source of hope. . . Is Christ alone.
