I think about abstractions all day. Something about me is wired to do so. I suspect it is tied to my background in some way. The combination of events that led me to right now bring it to the front of my mind at all times.
It probably started in college where I was studying to be a painter. That is a strong word. I was fucking around and thought that Jackson Pollock's powers came from his lifestyle.
Still, that was when I started thinking about abstractions. Not because I liked abstract painting so much, but because it was easier than realism. That is a young man's thinking, because that shit is hard, but it set the stage, I think, for how my career unfolded.
