I'm trying to deal with ideas about histories, fame, hearsay, and how public identities are constructed.

Look, we're all saddled with things that make us better or worse. This world is a crazy place, and I've chosen to make my work about that insanity.

It's hard for me to understand how working-class people support themselves.

All the gossip and craziness becomes a kind of sustained narrative which, in turn, can become history. It's scary.

Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level, as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways.

The place of the arts in the classroom is essential in encouraging invention, ambition, and an understanding of the importance and pleasures of living an examined life.

Prominence is cool, but when the delusion kicks in it can be a drag. Especially if you choose to surround yourself with friends and not acolytes.
