There are soo many artists that I admire , too hard to pinpoint, but, I have admired Joesph Beuys work, and Kiki Smith. I recently saw an exhibit at the National Gallery of Ottawa with there work highlighted.
Who do you consider a genius?
David Byrne from Talking Heads, he has done sooo much, from music, to photography, to doing an installation in New York City, he's always reinventing himself!
