I am isolated as an artist, not as a person.

I am happy for people to talk about my pictures, but I wish devoutly that I was not expected to talk about them myself.

I fell through a crack for years. Historically, I am a nothing because I fit in no category. I can only be me.

I am not an artist. I am a craftsman.

I am not a black artist, I am an artist.

I'm not a facelift person. I am what I am.
