I've been taking pictures since I was probably 16. I'm 54, and I can't believe how excited I am.

What I've always liked about photography is that it's such a direct way of showing what's on my mind. I see something. I show it to you.

Progress is always an exchange. We gain something, we give something else up. I'm interested in looking at some of what we are losing.

I'm in all of my work, and there's nowhere to hide when you make work.

I never heard the term "art world" until I was in my thirties, and I was like, "What are you guys talking about?" It's the world, and we all live in the world!

You need to have your eyes open because it's really scary what's happening.

I choose to work behind the camera. And I kind of want to make the work and then run away. The presentation of myself really feels complicated for me.

The world feels overwhelming to me on every level. Just the number of organisms that live on this planet. Our politics, our violence, psychology, emotions; there's just a lot going on, right?

I like getting stuff out of the way so you can see something clearly, see it sharply, have it be new again.

When people look at a photograph, they believe it... My photographs crawl along that edge. I document the world, but from my own biased point of view.

I think making things that appear simple is incredibly hard.

From space this Earth is incandescent with abominations - the gods write their signature in our entrails

I was raised to sense what someone wanted me to be and be that kind of person. It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.

I want to lead an important life. I want to do it because I was born a human being.

Glory to Women! They weave and entwine heavenly roses into an earthly life.

I don't know if there are men on the moon, but if there are they must be using the earth as their lunatic asylum

A person who refuses to risk change fails to grow.

Look round, the wrecks of play behold; Estates dismember'd, mortgaged, sold! Their owners now to jails confin'd, Show equal poverty of mind.

My sisters were sent away because my mother thought they were boring. I was not boring.

Social media and young people, art, music, all communications make this one of the most active times for activism. It will be a time of change.

The spiritual path is easy. It's the only path that is.
