“You’re another man named Richard, also not my darling, you are Richard simply… My darling, did I tell you these are babies that hold the signs. The babies hold the signs.” “I have no problem in not knowing and being blind but in recognizing these points of reference, what is gained?” “In general, [I] was offended by this because I never asked him to demonstrate his ability. It was like stealing from him, using his reality.” “…a sculpture that is put together out of separate pieces of often-disparate materials… [a] false show: [a] simulation “That was stupid. How bad am I? That was a stupid thing I did.”

“Every man-made object is the result of a powerful failure. Opportunity is linked to promotion. Real dreams are the last to be hired, doors remain closed, people with a dictionary radiate energy. They have a sense of purpose and learning to their lines. Radiant energy is an attitude that never fails. This is how the impossible becomes possible.” “When painting again stoops to lift the brick, opens it jaws to heaven, and glares in the direction of the ossified structures we all bear on our backs and in our hearts and minds, then will we want to call ourselves artists. Then we won’t have to. ”

“The character, who has spent considerable time wandering with disaffected and blasé composure through a hip, creatively bankrupt art scene…instantly fixates upon this image as the centerpiece of his oeuvre – his magnum opus.” “That the artist must feel the need to justify their art-object in the terms of art teaching and the whole collegiate apparatus is indicative of a certain poverty of thinking; both in the limited terms offered but also the passive acceptance and reproduction, or even justification of these terms―which are often barely understood and simply facilitate the repetition of a projection, whose identity is that of the same.” “It follows that the co-option of past aesthetic vernacular for the articulation of meaning today is neither accidental nor undesirable. It is actually impossible to attribute false meaning to an artwork based on aesthetic experience. The articulation of meaning, or value, in light of society, is, like art itself, simultaneously impossible and necessary.”

“spoons make for poor fire starters, especially when you’re drifting in space. language is only inadequate when you try to dip a brush in it.” “…does an artwerk gain depth thru a diverse interprtation, or iss it dilluttedd… iff noo, shouldd the artsts orignl intent prevail amonng opinionn?”
