- Night
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I get up about four times a night and go back to sleep, or not. Then I swill tea around 8 a.m. I answer e-mail, while I stall thinking about whatever scares me.
- Painting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I seldom have my stuff up unless I'm testing it. If I'm worrying about a painting, I put it up and see if I detest it quickly or slowly. Otherwise I have things by other artists.
- Laundry
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I really like doing the laundry, because I succeed at it. But I loathe putting it away. It is already clean.
- Painting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think of a piece, and then people who are competent fabricate it. But lately I've started finger painting, which probably should be a joke but isn't!

It can be kind of gruesome at times, making things alone.
- Death

Company makes my day.

- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'd paint long strips of canvas and abandon them on the beach, or put bread out in geometric patterns for the pigeons downtown. I wanted people to find something nice and intriguing to puzzle over. Then I'd go back to see if the things were still there, or if anyone would notice.
- Other
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's fun wandering around other people's minds.
- Being Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I wanted to support things that are helpful to people and maybe bash what I think is dangerous. So I switched from being everybody to being myself.
- Nov 07, 2020
One of the glories and terrors of working in public is that you do see if your output means anything to anyone.
- Fatal

Lack of charisma can be fatal.
- Nov 07, 2020
Sloppy thinking gets worse over time.
- Most

The most profound things are inexpressible.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Expiring for love is beautiful but stupid.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'd been doing projects outdoors for the public. I made pigeons eat geometry by putting bread out in rhomboids and triangles. I don't know if this activity made sense, but the work was available.
- Language

- Nov 07, 2020
I used language because I wanted to offer content that people - not necessarily art people - could understand.
- Lonely

I suspect you've noticed that making art can be lonely.
- Audience

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm always trying to bring unusual content to a different audience - a non-art-world audience.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
So much of art-making is about reducing things to the essentials, so I don't feel particularly crippled by this. I don't want it to look natural because then I would be making a documentary film.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Well, I think in trying to make life seem real enough that one is moved to do something about the more atrocious things. By going really far afield into a completely fake world, maybe there's a chance to make things resonant somehow - or in this case, truly terrifying. To make it as bad as the real stuff that's happening.
- Exploded
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am not free because I can be exploded anytime.
- Feel
- |
