New de Young Museum George Herms
George decided to sit a talk with me after El Anatsui (an african artist) finished talking with me for the camera. He must have had some bad experiences being interviewed in the past. He didn't realize I don't do interviews I just converse with the people that I meet. It just happens that we record the information then I put it together in the best way to represent the ideas of the conversation. Don't really cut anything out except when a person says "ummm" or "ahhhh" while they think. Sometimes ideas become roll on and on so I cut that down to the concise expression. This I consider one of the finest of my works to date. Enjoy.
