aesthetic values: North America is a shit box full of corrupt, money grubbing, heartless, evil doers. We're all grubbing around in it and we all smell pretty bad so it's easy to ignore. We can scratch shitty old sand over new shit and pretend like it doesn't exist or we can point it out. Pointing it out or digging it up is what art is. I try and do my digging with a sense of humour, it makes it a little easier to stomach.
