Memories
|
Nov 07, 2020

One of my early memories is of a white girl twirling in a circle. I realized later on that it was from that show 'Small Wonder' - the oldest I could have been when I was watching it was four or five, but it's one I think about a lot. It's stuck in my head, this terrible Fox television show.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

I feel like there are actually a lot of relationships between a website and a film in terms of designing an experience for a screen.

Nov 07, 2020

I definitely think an on-screen experience is universal, in a way.

Power
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm really obsessed with this show right now called 'Power,' produced by 50 Cent.

Family
|
Nov 07, 2020

My family, my background... it just parallels really nicely with a lot of social and cultural movements.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

At some point, all black movies became biopics. All the good, serious ones became biopics. 'Ray,' 'Ali'... those types of movies, those are the opportunities available for mostly men. Those are the opportunities for a black actor to transcend 'black' movies. They have to play a black icon.

Nov 07, 2020

It's weird how the Internet changes everything. The kind of narrow casting... instead of reaching for a broad audience, you are reaching for a more targeted audience.

Grew
|
Nov 07, 2020

I grew up in Altadena, California.

Money
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was very conscious of the film industry - a lot of people, neighbors, worked in it. I actually grew up doing a bit of extra work myself. I was homeschooled, and it was a way that I could make money. My parents let us do these jobs, and I never got very far, but I was much more interested in what everybody else was doing, and I liked being on set.

Present
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm so voracious with books, movies, TV, and I'm always interested in the way that different cultural values are presented or, in their absence, are present.

History
|
Nov 07, 2020

A lot of my work, the subject is film and television itself, and history, and how that kind of coincides with larger cultural history and memory.

More
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think the sitcom is the format for television. It's the essential form, and it represents more of the canon of TV, which is why I latched onto it.

Still
|
Nov 07, 2020

I grew up in Los Angeles. I watched lots of television; I still watch lots of television.

How
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've always been interested in the manufacturing of narratives, identities, and ideologies, and how they are embodied and negotiated by viewers.

Deja
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's an uncanniness to living in Los Angeles, from the way you move through the city to the moments of feeling familiarity or deja vu, like you've been somewhere or you know something when you really don't.

Nov 07, 2020

I didn't really grow up with any traditions. I grew up in a pretty liberal household in Southern California. I think that's part of my interest in thinking about heritage. I don't have a second language or cultural heritage in that way.

First
|
Nov 07, 2020

Pipilotti Rist is a Swiss video artist I learned about pretty early on. She's one of the first contemporary artists I knew about and was really drawn to.

Exhibition
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think the medium or format of distributing things has its own characteristics. I think that an exhibition can communicate certain things that a video can't, and publications communicate that in a different way.

More
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think I do more fiction than autobiography.

Look
|
Nov 07, 2020

Growing up in a specific area has a certain sociological and economic reason, so I'm interested in using myself as a case study to look as those things.

Nov 07, 2020

My writing, it's mostly fiction, but I want it to feel intimate and real.

Humor
|
Nov 07, 2020

I just have a deadpan sense of humor, I guess.

Nov 07, 2020

I think of entrepreneurship as a way of creating value.

Know
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I'm working on something, even when I don't know exactly where it's going, I have a sense of what I'd like to make. So maybe doing things right is following that sense even when I stop trusting myself. The rightness is in the process, even if it doesn't match up with my plans.

Nov 07, 2020

I'm interested in the economy of words and forms: jokes, aphorisms, copywriting, advertising, that way of writing when meaning has to be squeezed into as few words as possible.

Myself
|
Nov 07, 2020

I had a studio visitor ask me when a piece was complete, and afterward, I realized I was kind of annoyed by the question. I wrote down to myself, 'Nothing's ever finished' as an operating value.

Family
|
Nov 07, 2020

I never understood why anyone cared about the Kardashians until a friend, who's Latina, told me that she liked them because they're a family who look like hers. I was able to appreciate them differently.

Culture
|
Nov 07, 2020

Pop culture or advertising doesn't work perfectly. No one is watching and mindlessly accepting every part of the narrative or ideology.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

Los Angeles is an uncanny place to live. It has many science fiction qualities. For example, when I'm standing in line at the supermarket and I recognise the person in front of me, but I can't figure out how I know them. Suddenly, I realise I saw them in some random commercial six years ago.

Ideas
|
Nov 07, 2020

Entrepreneurs create value; I wanted to create ideas that became machines for making value.

Nov 07, 2020

There's a certain amount of absurdity to the idea that having extremely crisp clothes is what's going to get you through the door. And there's a certain sad reality to it, too.

Representation
|
Nov 07, 2020

Representation is a sort of surveillance.

Everything
|
Nov 07, 2020

I played sports growing up, and I worked out a lot. Then, when I moved back to L.A., I just fell off everything.

Feeling Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's no reason to be ashamed of feeling good.

Getting
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's very comforting to feel myself getting stronger.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

If some things don't make me feel good, I stop them. How simple, yet so hard to do.

Summer
|
Nov 07, 2020

I grew up watching tons and tons of television. It was all I would do, especially during summer vacations.

Dad
|
Nov 07, 2020

My mum was very interested in art and liked to write, and my dad was a hobbyist photographer.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

People act like art is a white thing - or not for people of colour - when, really, so much culture and art comes from people of colour. I want everyone to get into what I am doing. So sometimes I don't like to work just in an art context because it feels like a lot of people aren't going to see it. I like it to be a part of everyday life.

Change
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have said it before and I will continue to say that I don't think art is the most effective form of protest. I don't think it changes policy; I think it changes discourse, and discourse can change ideas, and for me, that's what it's about: having that space for conversation.

I Can
|
Nov 07, 2020

I guess I can be a little mischievous!
