Modernism was influenced by what they call a primativist ethic.

I'm not a preacher, but I preach. I'm not a Buddhist, but I chant. I'm not race theorist, but I have questions and ponderances around the complexities of race and class and culture wherever I am.

I believe that beauty is a basic service.

Sometimes the creating that we do is creating a platform that allows other creative people to pitch in.

What I think museums do very well is that they say to a public, "We have some stuff that's worth looking at."

I think I'm passionately allowing myself to be influenced by the things that are around me.

The reason artists want to have works in museums is that we want our works to be seen by as many people as possible and we want our ideas to be understood in more complicated ways.
