Speaking

I hate talking about my art. I absolutely despise it. I never feel that I am very good being verbal. That's why I make art, so I don't have to be verbal. If I wanted to talk or write about my feelings and perceptions I would have been a poet. Visual art is my escape from words. At least I thought it would be. People (my colleagues included) always seem to be offended and feel so cheated when I choose not to talk about my art. But my work isn't about talking to me, it about you talking to others. I just make my work for catharsis and put it out there. I don't want to talk about it, if I do it puts your imagination in a box. Anyone who knows my work knows that isn't at all what I want to do. Quite the contrary. Using verbal language to describe visual language doesn't make sense to me. I'm not trying to be difficult, I just feel that talking about my work defeats the purpose of me making art.


This is all.
