These are some of the things I think about and they bear upon what I make:

  time, the body, the mass, injustice, culpability, capitalism, eating, production, language, newness, desire, news, animals, sex, the weather, the body, outer space, pyramids, epiphany, how my tax dollars are spent on weapons and war and how i’m going to stop paying them but don’t, shitting, collective good, surveillance, time, consumption, alienation, violence, nothingness, gibberish, mediation, representation, decay, sex, resistance, duty, makeup, consumption, pyramid schemes, decoration, hunger, theater, time as a loop, life as a waking dream or nightmare.
