copy noticing photograph seeing street subtle thinking
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.
photography always-trying sick
People are always trying to find the next groovy thing, and it hasn't gone back to painting... I'd like it to go back to painting. I'm sick of all this photography and video. There's so much of it, it's almost annoying.
photography art photographer
One reason I was interested in photography was to get away from the preciousness of the art object.
ideas pieces photographer
My ideas are not developed before I actually do the pieces.
photography thinking artist
People think because it's photography it's not worth as much, and because it's a woman artist, you're still not getting as much - there's still definitely that happening. I'm still really competitive when it comes to, I guess, the male painters and male artists. I still think that's really unfair.
