I've Always Been Obsessed By Visual Art

I'm From A Very Politically And Socially Conscious Family. My Mother Always Made A Point Of Making Us Look At What Was Going On Around Us And Take Stock Of Our Part In It.

Isn't It Strange How We Move Out Lives For Another Day? Like Skipping A Beat, What If A Great Wave Should Wash Us All Away?

Would You Not Like To Be, Sittin' On Top Of The World With Your Legs Hanging Free?

Because Life Is Short But Sweet For Certain We're Climbing Two By Two To Be Sure These Days Continue These Things We Cannot Change

I Think Making Things That Aren't Necessarily Shiny, Happy Feelings, Putting Them In That Environment Is Sometimes An Easy Way To Deal With The Ugliness. Like, I Know That As A Kid, That I Found - I Think I Learned This A Bit From My Mother - That If I Could Be As Warm Around Strangers, No Matter How Strange Or What Different Environment I Was In, That People Tended To Be Warm Back.
