I Didn't Start To Be An Artist

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.

It Was A Very Economically Depressed Time [the 80s] And Because Of That, There Was A Lot Of Space. Everything Was Relatively Dilapidated, And One Could Live On A Pretty Low Income. One Could Live Well Below The Poverty Line And Not Suffer Immensely.

It’s One Of My Loose Theories That Catholicism And Art Have Gone Well Together Because Both Believe In The Physical Manifestation Of The Spiritual World.
