Spring Cleaning

Here is the text of some writings I found on a scrap of paper while cleaning my studio yesterday:

Role of Politics in Art

Its power is subtle –opportunity to be expressive rather than dogmatic.

Once artwork is created, even a sketch or drawing, it can potentially last hundreds of years.

So much of history and culture gets re-written, re-thought (that) I feel it’s really important to freeze ideas into icons.

My Work

My work is definitely slanted, but I try to combine odd, absurd, contradictory or funny elements so it’s not totally predictable. Contradiction humbles us.

I often appropriate stuff I hear on WERU. Stunning facts, inspiring music.

Text is important. Art can be hard to access. I like the accessibility to meaning that text provides. From there I can get obscure and confused.
