A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes he has the biggest piece.
For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before.
Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.
There was a big drive when I was at art school to make you aware of the economy of meaning – after all, this was still during the tail end of minimalism. Being responsible for everything you put in your picture, and being able to defend it. Keeping everything clear around you so you know what is operating. To open the wound and keep it clean.
I was very much into buying contemporary art, but I’ve just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it’s not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century masters.
