Artist Travis Krause
Greeley, Colorado
Ann Rea: (00:01)
What was your perspective on talking about yourself and your work, and what you were offering before you joined the program, and what’s it like now?
Travis Krause: (01:08)
So would you write, ever, write another artist statement again, Travis?
Ann Rea: (01:13)
If you catch me writing an artist statement, you have my permission to throw me in jail. No, I will never write another artist’s statement again. I really enjoy talking to people that are real. A lot more than writing something out to an ephemeral audience that I don’t even know.
