“My mother went to a school called 'The Club of the Three Wise Monkeys'. And my grandmother, my father's mother, had a gold charm for her made with the speak no, see no, hear no evil monkeys. And I was fascinated by that charm. I'd sit in my mother's lap and play with it all the time.” MadePlaySchoolMotherThreeEvilFatherSpeakWiseGoldClubsCharmGrandmotherFascinatedMonkeysMy GrandmotherLap Author:Mackenzie Phillips
“My background is in painting but in school in the sixties, like many artists of that time, I believed that painting was dead. I began to work in collaboration with other artists in the creation of performances and installation works. Soon after, I started making video and photographic works and in the process became fascinated with the media itself. Before long I was setting things up just for the camera. In l970 I got a dog and he turned out to be very interested in video and photography as well.” WellsLongSchoolArtistProcessMediaDogCreationPaintingPhotographyPerformancesCamerasBackgroundsSettingVideoSettingsCollaborationFascinatedSixtyInstallation Author:William Wegman
“I studied Japanese language and culture in college and graduate school, and afterward went to work in Tokyo, where I met a young man whose father was a famous businessman and whose mother was a geisha. He and I never discussed his parentage, which was an open secret, but it fascinated me.” MenSchoolYoungMotherCultureFatherLanguageSecretCollegeMetsYoung ManFascinatedGraduatesBusinessmanTokyoGraduate SchoolGeisha Author:Arthur Golden
