My voice as an artist has not yet matured completely. I am
still exploring different mediums and ideas, and it changes almost every day.
In the past I made a lot of work dealing with and questioning elegance, purity,
and influence. I think I’d like to pursue some of that in more depth in the
future, but as of right now in my career I don’t want to. It’s difficult to
describe to you what my voice is, because I don’t yet know. I think in order
for me to talk about it I need to have a greater understanding of what I want
to pursue. Also, I feel that sometimes my work evokes a certain feeling or
causes people to question things that I didn’t necessarily think about while
making it. One time Willem De Kooning was listening to someone talk about and
ask about his work, and he responded with a great quote that states, “Thank
you, now I know what my work is about”. I think sometimes an artist doesn’t
fully know what their voice is until they hear the responses from the viewers.
