failure love
I love language, and I love the failure of language.
elegance
I do not connect fashion to elegance. Elegance is in the wilderness, and fashion is in the domestic.
art bummed change dictate expensive gambling habits meaning paintings people perceive shame value
It's a shame when other people's gambling habits change the meaning of paintings or when fluctuations of value start to dictate how people perceive art because it's too expensive to be interesting or moving. That's when I get bummed out.
great imagination
I don't have a great imagination to share something with you that you don't know, so it's about interpreting things - a dialogue.
whereas
I think that fashion is industrial, whereas style is ideological. So they're not necessarily connected.
art
I was a pretty pretentious kid. I was always making art.
differences generosity selfishness
I'm really interested in the difference between selfishness and generosity . It confuses me to no end because sometimes it all just feels like pure indulgence on my part.
news use stealing
A lot of the images I use are already out there in the public or in the news. I just steal them or photograph them or repaint them, so they've already been talked about, already been consumed.
fighting miscommunication communicate
I feel like the biggest failure of humans is miscommunication. We can't communicate with each other-we can fight, we can kill, we can do those things well.
desire different artwork
There are so many different desires that make you execute an artwork.
selfish kids artist
People have these weird ideas about artists being romantic, generous people, and sometimes I feel like an asshole, a selfish kid, a brat, the lucky one, because I get to do this and it's how I make my living.
