Whenever I reference something, it usually comes back at some point. I don't know why.

I was making my work as transparent as possible, without equivocations, without calling attention to itself, without apology. There's a lot of conventions in the art world that are not to be transgressed, but my economy of means doesn't abide by those strictures. There's no reason to abide by them. I don't have any vested interest in it.

My work is more driven by the creative word. It's immersed in other writing and printed work, rather than drawn so much from life or past experience.

Art comes after the fact, as a witness to certain things that have happened.

In communist Russia, their major organ was Pravda, which means "truth." The Russians knew how to read between the lines. They didn't take their literature literally.

There's always a latent or inferred image in my writing. And I can almost always assume if I do a drawing that it will eventually have text.

Sometimes there's a vacuum that has to be covered.
