"I feel there are two goals in art. One is to reach closer understanding of one's unconscious self. The other is to touch the zeitgeist of our times. I know these are very lofty goals and very presumptuous of me, but I sincerely wake up each morning with the desire to achieve these goals. What kind of artist am I? I draw from life. My unconscious life. My models happen to be cats with phallic noses and severed heads longing for unattainable beauty. But that is my life."
-Gary Baseman
