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

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.

Direct address has been a consistent tactic in my work, regardless of the medium that I'm working in.

Money talks. It starts rumors about careers and complicity and speaks of the tragedies and triumphs of our social lives.

It's a small world, but not if you have to clean it

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

I feel uncomfortable with the term public art, because I'm not sure what it means. If it means what I think it does, then I don't do it. I'm not crazy about categories.
