(I am not the only artist who will try to tell you that humanity is self-centered and therefore my self-centered art is about humanity, but to witness this minutia is to simultaneously intimately intertangle and to distance oneself from the reality of the present moment.)

(there is a simple sweetness of rebellion in pointing to something that does not, practically, matter, and saying “yes, that, I care about that. look at that.” In simply noticing and documenting we are telling a story that this, here, this is worthy of your attention.)

(It might be garbage but it’s important garbage.)
