It is endlessly incredible to me the degree to which this man always has to go and add something extra. To anyone else --- anyone else on earth --- making a giant teddy bear sculpture out of chocolate is already a hugely ambitious task. Making it with as realistic as he does even more so.

And then. And THEN!

This madman decides that the teddy bear should also have a zipper with stuffing spilling out. The audacity. It's so extra. I love it.

If you ever find yourself in a horror scenario, remember to blush really hard when the ghost/demon/monster appears. If you do that fast enough you might be able to shift the genre.

This applies doubly if the antagonist is more abstract. If a house starts growing teeth and flesh you've gotta be prepared to get a little freaky

My priority as an artist has always been to record and celebrate our lives. Having lived through an extraordinary time of redefinition and deconstruction of identities, from camp to gay to queer; and seeing our lives and histories marginalised every day, we all have a responsibility to speak out. To bang the tribal drums of the jungle telegraph – “I’m here, girlfriend; what’s new?” We’ve always created these languages as we’ve shaped our identities.
[David McDiarmid, “A Short History of Facial Hair,” presented as an illustrated essay at the AIDS political forum, “HIV: Towards a Paradigm,” in Melbourne, April 1993]

I wish people didn’t think silence was awkward, just enjoy it. Not every space has to be filled with words.
