ST: Good Afternoon Mr. White
WW: Please call me Wayne. I see that you are interested in my
work, do you have any questions for me?
ST: Yes. Let's just jump right in. Why do you do the letter work
on old paintings? What is your inspiration for the words?
WW: Well, I just want to entertain people with my words and create
a shock factor that I feel has been lost in modern art. You see, when you have
a picture of a barn and then large profanities on it. Someone is going to
laugh!
ST: I see, that makes sense. What do you think inspires you?
WW: You see, Stephen, everything inspires me, I love making big
cardboard masks of presidents. I’m all about creating a reaction.
ST: Tell me about your college experience.
WW: That is where I truly found myself. I finally found people
like me so I could fully blossom into the weirdo that I am. They accepted me
for who I was and embraced my ideas and even improved them! For what I remember
(laughs), college was the time of my life. I was so tired of being the weird kid
in high school. It really felt awesome to be with people like me.
ST: Interesting. How do you avoid being called a “one trick pony”?
WW: Whoever says that obviously doesn’t know my craft at all. I
know it looks the same, but, like I said, as long as it entertains and I am
satisfied with it, then who cares about what the people say.
ST: I agree! Well, thank you for this quick interview Wayne. I
really appreciate your artwork and hope to see more material on the way!
WW: Trust me, Stephen. I may be old, but I am still kickin’!
ST: Looking forward to see more of your future projects.
