I think this is pretty clear, but maybe not to everybody: Despite the fact that the work is personal or taken from life, it's not about me telling my personal story.

As the art world changes, artists have more and more responsibility. You don't have a lot of luxury to be super secluded.

I'm making art and making decisions and editing things. I don't live my life to broadcast it into the art world; I don't see it as my life on the stage.

I understand - and often make fun of - the desire to run to the wall text before running to the painting.

The personal is the political. That's an old tagline.

'm very conscious about how the viewing situation [of the Biennale] creates a situation for the viewer who feels pressured. I don't really have any concept of who looks at my work online. I don't think it's viewed that much online.

That's the fantasy dream project, to collaborate with someone who preaches the gospel of art through music.
