bodies work
The different bodies of my work end themselves when there's no more discovery to be had.
barrier complex destroying high hope work
A lot of my work is about equalizing things and kind of destroying any barrier between what's high and low, or what's deep or what's shallow, complex or simple. I hope I'm ever-changing.
possess
I've always been interested in moments of disbelief... I don't know if they possess any magic, but they do have something.
energy far knew love next painting pick scared somebody three
Love is important. I didn't have the energy to be giving it to somebody else in a way that they deserved, and I knew that. So I've always been scared to go too far with somebody I care for because I knew there would come a day when I'd need to pick up and finish a painting for the next three months. That day is inevitable.
