A matter of time

Pink Eye, 2005
The San Francisco exhibit prompted a call from the organizers of the 2006 Whitney Biennial. “They asked me if I wanted to be in the show, and I said, ‘Don’t you want to make a studio visit?’ And they said, ‘No, we know your work.’” More calls came. “They asked, ‘Can we use one of your paintings for the cover of the catalog?’ And I was like, ‘Uh, yeah.’ Then they called again: ‘Would you mind if we used your work for the banners outside the museum?’ I became the poster child for that show.”
