I think humor really is the most effective way for me personally to express myself. When I see an incredible formalist painting, I respect it. I really do. I see its history and I get it.

I think art is beautiful. It's decoration and adornment. But art is also a really important vessel for social change, and social change begins… — Chloe Wise Copy Share Image
