Statement

  Manifesto:

I am for an art, object, image, text, concept, that is:

honest but not earnest

absurd but also meaningful

self-referential but not self-absorbed

truth-to-materials but also artifice and alchemy

contradiction: that is but also is not

handmade and inspired but also readymade and appropriated

playful but not frivolous

clever and intellectual but also modest and accessible

deliberate and sincere but also facetious

seductive and suggestive but not slutty or shocking

physical, visual, and beautiful but also ephemeral, conceptual, and intriguing

subversive but also conservative

naive and credulous but also perceptive and critical

grand intentions but also beautiful failure

relevant but also irreverent

in short: brilliant and witty.
