“[understanding art is about] the beauty of the actual reality of what’s happening. Things being un-mediated with no one telling you what to do or what’s important or what has value, but rather deciding for yourself and knowing that when you throw paint against a wall, just when you throw paint, the mark that it leaves, it’s an impression of an action, a moment, of a real lived experience that actually happened.”
