"The gun beside the bed is there for effect - everything I do is for effect - but it is real and it is loaded. I like to remind myself that every morning I'm making a choice to live. "
Sebastian Horsley
I enjoy him a lot, the idea of getting crucified in the Phillipines,[ I thought of that myself one time on watching an Our Lonely Planet show]. the wearing of expensive suits while painting [which I have done, but cheaper suits], to the devil may care personality.
I also enjoyed this quote when speaking also again of his home:
" I bought the flat for £200,000, but the bank really owns it as I've had to keep re-mortgaging to pay my tailors' bills. I've just heard that I'm in negative equity, which I'm quite happy about as it goes with the rest of my personality."
It just so appealling to me.
I have been thinking about performance and actions art lately. So thats while Sebastian pop up. Him and Chris Burden, the artist who has been crucified to the Volkswagon Beetle, and also shot at. Those kind of actions intrigue me. I can see myself doing something similar, or is hoping, wanting. Thats a inner debate there I suppose. It sometimes feel my art is much quieter than I act out, least my more sucessful pieces. My attempts at louder pieces, for lack of better words, never seem to come to past. Lack of guts perhaps? ...
Have to ponder more
