in the Past 30 years what do you feel has been 

the biggest Change in the art world? 

Galleries are just one part of the eco-system and not the 

only game in town anymore. Artists can make their own 

opportunities to shape their own creative lives.

what is your favourite food?

 

Very good craft Bourbon.

intelleCt was founded in 1986.

Moving from Atlanta, GA to Chicago, IL to complete

Gratitude.

Shining shoes at the airport.

whiCh book Changed your life? 

The exhibition catalogue for Content, a group show at the

showed me that I can be a professional artist. I never turned 

back and still hold on to and refer to that catalogue as a 

reminder of that revelation.

what is your greatest fear? 

Bugs.

aside from a ProPerty, what’s the most exPensive 

thing you’ve bought? 

I have yet to buy property so I would say a car. I like mobility.

what is the Closest you’ve Come to death? 

Every time I make my work alone in my studio I feel I am closer 

to that. It’s cathartic. 

what song would you like Played at your funeral? 

Songs from the old-school; classic funk & groove.

what is your favourite film? 

I have seen a particular film at least 25 times as a happy 

distraction from my professional life.
