Direct address has been a consistent tactic in my work, regardless of the medium that I'm working in.

Power doesn't just exist. It is threaded through different mechanisms of control. I'm interested in those complexities. But I want to address that in very forthright language and sometimes with images.

It's hard for me to understand how working-class people support themselves.

I've always been very tied to language.

I had to figure out how to bring the world into my work.

It's good to keep in mind that prominence is always a mix of hard work, eloquence in your practice, good timing and fortuitous social relations. Everything can't be personalized.
