The idea of vaudeville clowns and court jesters is always to show the flaw, to point out what's not working and why it's not coherent.

I think the term 'conceptual art' is a useful term for writers, a basket to put people in, like Pop Art or Impressionism or whatever.

If you're smart, you abandon the things that didn't work out so well, and you enlarge upon the things that seem to be successful.

Photos should suggest a word(s) and vice versa. They should be equal and interchangeable.

Talent is cheap, you have to be possessed or obsessed, rather. You really have to feel like you cannot not do art, and that is something you can't will.

Well, why is this art? Why isn't that art?

Ideally I would like the work to be a hybrid between painting and photography.
