I’m not a painter, I’m a collagist. But it gets to some point where what—what can you do with it after you’ve done it? That’s why I began putting everything into envelopes. I had this stockpile of materials, so I just put them into envelopes and mailed them out to everybody everywhere. … That was a dilemma as to: what does one do with one’s sculptures or one’s paintings or one’s drawings? So I solve that problem by chopping them up all into little pieces and mailing them to people.
