# 36 Method Statement

I'm not really interested in making art. I've tried that in the past and besides being very difficult it is almost always misunderstood. My new method is to not make art. This method will take a lot less effort. What I will try to do now is make something that looks like it could be art. This will take responsibility off of me and and the viewer alike. It should still have appeal to conceptual thinkers. The casual viewer should not like it less. I want it to be multi-layered and complex without being difficult. It should appeal to or repulse everyone equally and will not be preferred by anyone who loves craft. I want this form to be derivative if at all possible. If it becomes too original that fact will be masked by references. Hopefully it will be precisely defined by what it is not.
