CAN’T NEVER COULD / THE COURAGE TO FACE THE TRIALS AND BRING A WHOLE NEW BODY OF POSSIBILITIES INTO THE FIELD OF INTERPRETED EXPERIENCE – THAT IS THE ARTIST’S DEED. JOSEPH CAMPBELL BY ROGER BROWN, 1991

“As an artist your role is to sit back and observe objectively. If you become part of the freak show, you’re dead. You’re just another whore. The real job of an artist is to use what’s going on, not be used by it.”

Roger Brown, Dialog magazine 1987
