I don't understand how any good art could fail to be political.
You know, one of the only times I ever wrote about art was the obituary of Warhol that I did for the Village Voice.
Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level, as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways.
I mean, making art is about objectifying your experience of the world, transforming the flow of moments into something visual, or textual, or musical, whatever. Art creates a kind of commentary.
Women's art, political art - those categorisations perpetuate a certain kind of marginality which I'm resistant to. But I absolutely define myself as a feminist.
Warhol's images made sense to me, although I knew nothing at the time of his background in commercial art. To be honest, I didn't think about him a hell of a lot.
Even when I was a little girl, I remember going to the Museum of Modern Art. I think my parents took me there once or twice. And what I really remember is the design collection.
I feel uncomfortable with the term public art, because I'm not sure what it means. If it means what I think it does, then I don't do it. I'm not crazy about categories.
Teaching at university isn't like teaching in an art school.
Sometimes I make things that people have very strong responses to. Whether that's art, I don't know. That's one of those words that doesn't mean anything. It's why I don't just use words.
I never studied art, but taught myself to draw by imitating the New Yorker cartoonists of that day, instead of doing my homework.
I am planning a one-man art show of original Batman oil paintings that I will show in New York City.
I refuse to confide and don't like it when people write about art.
One must always draw, draw with the eyes, when one cannot draw with a pencil.
The party is a true art form in Sydney and people practise it a great deal. You can really get quite lost in it.
I'm really into California art from the '60s.
Drawings, paintings, and sculptures. That's the three pillars of art academia.
I have tons of art books. I have them all over the place. They are in my car, in my bag, and in my studio. There are books around me all the time.
As soon as street art got popular, I was just like, 'I'm out of here.'
I want to do just, like, regular art. Whatever is made today on canvas goes up against all of art history. It's the most radical thing.
I wasn't trying to turn graffiti into an art form. I just wanted to learn about art. I wanted to learn this game.
