Complexity derives from the presence of contradiction. Context determines meaning. Art is a conversation, not a monologue.For every hour of making, spend an hour of looking and thinking. Conception cannot precede execution.You work to divest yourself of what you know; I want to end with something that will baffle me & quote; To return to things themselves is to return to that world which precedes knowledge, of which knowledge always speaks.

"When a mirror looks into another mirror, what is there to see?"

- Andy Warhol on Self-Portraits
