This work hopefully is only about regular life. It is in part about integrating myself into actual society, and being a human being in the most mundane way. The present work is a reaction to what I think are constants. My relationship with people, both sexual and platonic, and handling the intensity of a multi-faceted metropolis. Knowledge and education are extremely important elements. Every single event that occurs is education. The book pieces are literal, they do not represent Knowledge, they are random events of education. What drives the work is that out of the millions of possibilities in this city, one sentence from one book is significant to me. The passages seem to directly relate to every day situations: my job, a girl, my next door neighbors, or money. I think that they are like textbooks that contain actual information. The first real knowledge I have found has cost me no more than two dollars at a bookstore. At this moment I think my most important concept is working. I want to make something that I don’t understand at the time, and then making another quickly. Making art needs to become more like my real life. I can not rely on inspiration, it has to be faster than that. We have to be on the same page, drinking the same coffee and going to the same job.
		I was born in New York and raised in a regular neighborhood by irregular parents. They migrated to New York for the same reasons most do, the energy of the metropolis is very enticing. My father is an artist of repute and it seemed natural for me to do the same. I went to school in New York and tried to comprehend creating art in a city flooded with artists. After I graduated I had to come to terms with making work that no one would care about. I feel that, at best, all I can do is understand myself and my city. I believe these developments will facilitate becoming an individual artist.
