I really do think of them as post-minimalist sculptures, inspired in large part by some very early spacecraft that NASA built.

The dead spacecraft in orbit have become a permanent fixture around our planet, not unlike the rings of Saturn. They will be the longest-lasting artifacts of human civilization, quietly circling Earth until the Sun turns into a Red Giant, about five billion years from now.

The U.S. generally wants to solve problems with coercion. That's kind of the default way the American state wants to try to solve problems. So there are many parallels between that: mass incarceration, mass surveillance, and militarism.

Art is more than a series of images that are disembodied. Art is objects that live in real places, economies, spaces, architecture.

I'm pretty cynical about the future, but I feel like that's not an ethical position for me to take. It's not okay for me to behave as if I'm cynical about the future. Even if I am.

When you have an economically unequal society, you end up with huge swaths of society that are disposable, basically.

Injustice drives me crazy! It really upsets me when I see politicians lying.
