Lot Essay

There's no real agenda to the production of my art. It follows a certain nervous energy. A lot of things are based on blind faith and impulse. Trivia, paradox–they're all little issues. The things that appeal to me are not necessarily heroic. They just happen to be in the moment.
—Ed Ruscha
