The last time I'd painted, I was 16 years old at summer camp, and I didn't want to teach myself how to paint by copying the old masters or stretching a canvas and practicing over and over again on that surface, because that's not what this project was about for me.
L'ultima volta che avevo dipinto, era stato in un campo estivo a 16 anni, e non volevo imparare a dipingere copiando grandi maestri o stendere una tela e fare continua pratica su quella superficie, perché non era quello il senso del mio progetto.
