It should be not only a synergy, but a complicity between the viewer and the artist, and so I'm wide open to that.

The longer they hang out, the deeper the history, the richer the life. If you use that as a template or as a way of realizing things, then I don't think you can go wrong.

I started making work, and it's like, yes you are calling out all of these things that are part of your memory, your body's memory, things that have gone through your pores, what you've seen, what you've experienced, and you spill them out without thinking. I don't think so much about, "Okay, I'm going to make work, and it's going to be about this." It's just going to come out.

The fact is, art is alive. It's moving around. It's alive.

There is the artwork that you physically make but there's also the journey that happens on the inside.

That's the position I place myself in always. I don't know. It says follow me. It pulls you right through, just by the nose.

The more you touch something, the stronger it becomes.
