Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You Quote
Man Visitor: What is the name of the artist?
James Sveck: He/She/It has no name. Well, He/She/It does, but He/She/It does not self-identify.
Woman Visitor: And why is this?
Man Visitor: It's fascinating. He/She/It claims that identity is fluid, and should not be constrained by something as fixed as a name. You see, He/She/It believes that if an artist has a name, then people pay for that name rather than for the art. It's a way of separating the artist from the art.
