The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions that have been hidden by the answers.
"I stood at the border, stood at the edge and claimed it as central. Claimed it as central, and let the rest of the world move over to where I was."
“I found that I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn’t say in any other way things that I had no words for."
"I am a writer and my faith in the world of art is intense but not irrational or naïve. Art invites us to take the journey beyond price, beyond costs into bearing witness to the world as it is and as it should be. Art invites us to know beauty and to solicit it from even the most tragic of circumstances. Art reminds us that we belong here. And if we serve, we last. My faith in art rivals my admiration for any other discourse. Its conversation with the public and among its various genres is critical to the understanding of what it means to care deeply and to be human completely. I believe."
