Sometimes if feel like the hand held device is killing my spirit. It gives me so much,but delivers false promises. It preys on my weaknesses. It offers easy temporary answers but never a solution. It suggests that we are not alone but we are. The only way out is through work.

I don’t think there’s a difference between a sculpture at MoMA or a ten bullets t-shirt because they’re both artworks. They’re both done with the same degree and care. Every decision is considered, whether it’s the humblest sticker or most elaborate Space Program.

The kind of artist I relate to most is the kind who can work in any medium. Digital media is a newer tool but it still carries the values of transparency that are important to me. I’m okay living with regret; the worst regret is not having done something.

What the NFT has shown us is that you don’t need the artworld to consecrate you. You can do it yourself, whoever you are. That is so incredibly liberating.

I love Duchamp because he has the audacity to sign a urinal and say “this is art because I say it’s art” but he also has the discipline to clearly define the boundaries so that you trust that statement and define the edition, whether it’s one of one or ten.
