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

That's just the way I end up making meaning from the direct material in my life - I think what makes it accessible is the desire to communicate, more than anything. It does make it accessible, but that's not what motivates me.

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

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.

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

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

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