A: None of your business. Q: Oh, you’re no fun. A: ... Ok: A group of artists, mostly painters, using language, color, image or gesture personally and expressively. Q: Couldn’t we argue that drier, less hand-in-the-dirt work is also personal and expressive? A: Yes. Q: And what do you like about this group? A: I like that they enjoy making things. There’s a love there that I can relate to. They’re inventive, creative. I like seeing their breath. There’s beauty and plain spoken mystery. Q: Would you say that most of the work has an inward looking quality? A: I would say there’s a type of existential localness, self-as-breather if you will, that hits home for me. Q: And what of the wind? A: The wind is special. It moves your body.
