“In many waves, again and again throughout history, artists have realized that they are part of a working class, and need to share demands when possible. I really believe in the power of symbols and sculptural objects, artworks that are able to circulate on their own. We’ve learned from so many people—but especially lately, AOC and Bernie Sanders—that the challenge is one that is in the imagination. You know, if we can’t imagine that we deserve certain rights, certain ways of being in the world, then we will never be able to achieve them politically. I believe sculptural objects can really do that. . . .”
