Working 2000

“I even made a few sex tapes. Robin helped me set up the camera. I was a top. You see it from behind; he’s on a couch in front of me (slightly anonymous). It’s quite aesthetic.” – SMW paraphrased by MH.

“The phrase ‘it’s not what you think’ repeats often in my work.” – SMW.

SMW, MH & AC inventorying session – 01.10.20. “Referencing is there for a reason.” – AC. “You need to give credit where credit is due.” – SMW.

GSA inventorying session – 10.09.20. “I feel guilty about everything in life.” – SMW.

“Was there an Abstract Expressionist (Jasper Johns?) that used ‘no’ in his titles? As many of the are, this is so simple… maybe worth destroying? NO!” – MH.

“I don’t remember making this. Sometimes I remember making them…” – SMW. “I always wanted to be a writer. I never studied or anything, but I figure anyone who starts writing is a writer.” – SMW.

Rijksakademie Internal Open Studios – 07.09.20. “I think my work is super awkward and I’m proud of it.” – SMW.

Meeting 12.04.20. “How to be sensitive to this work? There should be a balance of knowing enough to know so as to not be generic (knowing too little) or leading (too much). A balance of distance, not an interview but an ongoing conversation/trust.” – MH.
