"I still think the social function of art is that kind of negative aesthetic. Otherwise there’s no social function for it."

"’Ferroneus & The Monk’ is what I call a dream flash. That’s how Mounds dream- in big colorful landscapes filled with floating objects and symbols. Mounds are rooted in the ground. They can’t really move. So in their dreams they’re very mobile. They can go anywhere. All over the place!"
