Dreamers Are Those Who Have Achieved In

I'm Good At Using My Face As A Canvas… I'll See A Photograph Of A Character And Try To Copy Them On To My Face. I Think I'm Really Observant, And Thinking How A Person Is Put Together, Seeing Them On The Street And Noticing Subtle Things About Them That Make Them Who They Are.

I Was Meticulously Copying Other Art And Then I Realized I Could Just Use A Camera And Put My Time Into An Idea Instead.

I Want[ed] To Make A Show Of Really Big Pictures, Because You See Male Artists Doing It All The Time. It Just Seemed Like Such A Big Egotistical Thing. I Thought, 'i Don't Know That Many Women That Really Do That.... Damn It, I'm Gonna Do That-make This Really Big Picture.'

Some People Have Told Me They Remember The Film That One Of My Images Is Derived From, But In Fact I Had No Film In Mind At All.

So Many Things Suddenly Made Sense For The Clowns, For The Whole Idea. I’d Been Going Through A Struggle, Particularly After 9/11; I Couldn’t Figure Out What I Wanted To Say. I Still Wanted The Work To Be The Same Kind Of Mixture – Intense, With A Nasty Side Or An Ugly Side, But Also With A Real Pathos About The Characters – And Clowns Have An Underlying Sense Of Sadness While They’re Trying To Cheer People Up. Clowns Are Sad, But They’re Also Psychotically, Hysterically Happy.
