The works of previous artists have come from their own experiences or insights but haven't given the experience itself. They had set themselves up as a sort of interpreter to the layman... Our interest is in a form where you realize that the media are just perception.

I haven't been that great at attending my own openings. Still, I'm learning to enjoy this a lot more than I used to.

Nowhere in the job description of an artist is the requirement that I must validate your taste.
