“What kind of art do you want to make?”
“I want to make different versions of myself.”

Artist’s statement: 

“The world seems to me increasingly incomprehensible, and there are times when I feel there isn’t anything that I know for certain. For me, making photographs (or painting, or whatever) is necessary to translate the unintelligible reality of being into a more coherent form. Or at least to illustrate my best guesses. There is vastly more nothing in the universe than something, and I try to create images that recognize the grace by which anything at all exists.”

(via ceedling)

"Well, all of art is useful, isn’t it, in that sense? You couldn’t grow up and live without art…. It’s not helpful; it’s not not-helpful. It exists, just like we exist."

— Grace Paley, The Believer Book of Writers Talking to Writers
