WHAT ARE YOU READING LATELY?
There’s quite a pile of books by my bed right now, but I have been focusing on a biography of Remedios Varo called “Unexpected Journeys.”WHAT IS HANGING ABOVE YOUR MANTEL?

I don’t have a mantel, but my living room has about 30 of my own paintings on the walls; a friend of mine says they are like protective talismans but I think it’s kind of a form of storage.

IF YOU COULD CHOOSE ANY ARTST TO PAINT OR SCULPT YOUR PORTRAIT WHO WOULD IT BE?

It’s a toss up between Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlo. I think I would be more interested in the experience of sitting for either of them than the actual product. Too bad they’re dead, maybe we can do a seance. John Currin would be my chioce for artists who are alive.
