Art is really about perception, and mine have been changed through visiting other realities.
I don't embrace irony, but I do think it's a pre-existing condition; we manage it as best we can.
I kind of have a Victorian sensibility - I don't understand stuff until I can classify it and name it.
I've come to believe in the primacy of form - the notion of art seducing you through your senses, through your eyeballs.
The small amount of people that control the discourse around painting - I thought that the whole museum world was just a bunch of phonies, and I didn't really want to have anything to do with it. I guess I did installations, in a funny way, because they couldn't be commodified.
