Artist Statement:
The work speaks for itself, it say nothing at all, it isn’t clear enough, it’s to didactic, it’s not clever enough, it’s confusing, the work must say a lot, but speak for itself, It must be playful but serious, it must have depth, it matches the drapes, the idea is the most important thing, it is too naïve, I could make that, it’s ugly, it’s to dark, it’s too kitsch, it’s too nice, it shows skill, it shows promise, they can’t draw, It’s beautiful, it’s nice, I don’t get it, it explores, it interrogates, this is the context, it makes me feel.., I love this, it’s intuitive, it’s repetitive, it’s meditative, it investigates, it speaks too, it references, it’s the best thing I have ever made, it’s rubbish.
