All five of the artists I’ve chosen have great personal and artistic significance for me. Except for Leonore Mau, I’ve worked with all of them in various ways, engaged with their work for years, and learned a lot from them in a lively and ongoing process of exchange. In selecting them, I’ve been guided above all by two thoughts: how can one relate to situations and objects so that there is an exchange among things, people, and world? And what might an art look like that speaks creole, non-Eurocentric languages?
