I'm interested in the essence of things. If you pare things down, what's left? It's like I'm trying to describe the soul to an alien.
For me, art is make-believe. It's enchantment. It's a fable. I'm enjoying that and playing with it. Of course it's serious, and art is serious, but I'm not going to rarefy it.
The way I grew up, everyone knew how to cook, sew... carpentry.
