“Sometimes the most interesting visual phenomena occur when you least expect it. Other times, you think youre getting something amazing and the photographs turn out to be boring and predictable. So I think thats why, a long time ago, I consciously tried to let go of artists angst, and instead just hope for the best and enjoy it. I love the journey as much as the destination.

I want to bring something to the table that's different than anything else would bring, but that has its place and value, and then keep moving.” WayWantPersonsDifferentMovingArtistValuesGrowsEnjoyCan DoSleepCompanyTablesKeep Moving Author:Angela Bassett
