| There is no more a reason for making art than there is for writing poetry, engaging in philosophical discussion or wondering about an afterlife. These are things that humans do simply because we are equipped for it. Like fighting, competing, and complaining, and in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, we use these tools to claim that our lives matter. With every work of art I make, I proclaim, “I am here, dammit!” |
