“I always think back to Smithson and his idea of history collapsing, extreme future and extreme past as materials to work with. I still think that painting is a great way to work through those ideas. Not having to rely on Photoshop or printing something, which is fine, but I enjoy picking up a pencil and getting my hands dirty. I don’t think its primitive or stupid. If it is, who cares? It’s a good thing. It’s a good kind of primitive and stupid.”
