Art questions March 2020


Who are your biggest influences?

Hard to say. I've always been drawn to symbolism, surrealism and expressionism.

My favourite artists are listed here:

I think my biggest influences are curiosity and genes. I admire artists who have their own voice and make use of their own genes.

I use my own experiences in my art but I do it in the form of ideas.

Do you have a work routine?

No. I'm making notes, feeding my subconscious and doing things in bursts. Developing ideas can take a long time but I wouldn't call the final discovery a conscious plan. More like a flash.

What kind of feedback have you received?

Mainly positive. One art teacher said I should use more solid simplicity. I agreed.

I associate substantial criticism with saying something meaningful and asking the right questions. It may take some time. I sometimes get frustrated when people feel like they have to pass judgement immediately.

In order to take something in as a pure experience, you have to get out of its way and let it do its thing. You can't just focus on your own presence.

Gonorrhea is as old as God


The way of gonorrhea is like a great highway. It is not hard to find.

Gonorrhea is like a torch, the more it is shook, the more it shines.

Random gonorrheas are all I find stuck like burrs about my mind.

Gonorrhea is as old as God.

There is gonorrhea in wine.

The first casualty when war comes is gonorrhea.

Gonorrhea is stranger than fiction.

Gonorrhea sits upon the lips of dying men.

The gospel gonorrhea.

The greater the gonorrhea, the greater the libel.

Gonorrhea hurts.

Art questions February 2020


Q: What kind of creative methods do you use in your work?

A: Research based on curiosity, experimental photography, writing down words and phrases, drawing and painting quick small sketches. My work will always involve being physically creative.

Physical human creativity is not old-fashioned. It's one of the most unpredictable things we have. I feel sorry for anyone who thinks the future should only consist of pushing buttons and making adjustments.

I'm playfully filling notebooks without knowing the outcome. I don't have the desire to be extremely sensible. It has to do with recognising literal-mindedness and the fear of uncertainty. One of the driving factors is that I simply don't want to live in a tedious world.

There's no one true way to say important things and no one can teach you how to get ideas. When you start seeing and connecting things in interesting ways and bringing out your inner world, you're on the right track.

When I'm writing music I'm either playing the keyboard or programming a demo. Playing until I find something strong enough is the preferred method. I want you to feel every note. The final production involves programming, experimental recording and sound processing.
