When I get inspired, I feel like I can do almost anything.
“The thing I have not achieved,” explains Casey, “is something that cannot be achieved: Not ever being complacent.”
I feel like a huge percentage of one’s education comes from community and being humbled by the talent of other artists.
To say “my practice” implies a continuum that may be of an ordinary routine. For me, art is not that. It is not a day job. It goes beyond that, and the art produced should, too.
I’ve never painted a painting without listening to jazz.
I narrowed down the options by choosing the path I felt right. I can’t recall the paths that I didn’t choose.
To me traditional art materials are burdensome: they point to themselves, or other points in history. I like to use a material that tells a different story and has a different history, often outside of art.
In art, I find joy but no peace.
Can art change the world? Can it start a revolution, or stop one? If it can’t change the world, can it change an individual?
A lot of my work arises out of an accident, or stumbling on some event that spurs me to want to record it.
