Life changes a lot. I guarantee you.
My iPhone has changed my life - I spend hours taking photos of the sidewalk as I walk down the street. I like the casualness, that it's low-resolution.
My support system is simple - people and time. The miracle of other people in your life.
When studio art started being seen as important, I joined Colab, and then I became very involved.
I'm in general a nostalgic person, but I don't know if I'm nostalgic for the 80s!
I've been very lucky being in New York. While there are many things that have impacted my life, I have been able to stay here and do my own work.
I'm not moving from an ideological standpoint. Sometimes I'm trying to make my life better. Sometimes I'm trying to make my life worse! I'm trying to find a happy medium that I can make some sense of.
Things that are very significant and important to you when constructing an identity when you're younger change.

My work life makes much less sense now than 20 years ago. It's Humpty-Dumpty-like in a way; I can't put the pieces back together.

I didn't start to be an artist myself until I was 24.
