4) At the close of the decade, who is your favorite fine artist?Too many to choose from, I don't know if there is a single artist who I can name, but I have been very impressed with a number of emerging talents from all over the world. The new ideas, imagery, process and emotive force of the new work I see holds tremendous promise. The over all dominant theme seems to be a fusion of personal mythology, global pop culture, and a desire to develop a sense of singularity or unity out of the flood of information overload. In terms of the emerging aesthetic I would say it is a tension between the handmade and the mass-produced object.
