Okay wow. Nice job interviewer. I have to take this in. (and I really hope what I say won’t b too long but I can’t help it!) This is a large interview covering many bases, haha and beautifully done. Yes. I like the questions and even more so the answers. {{As the answers are never, at least in any of the interviews I’ve read from Foox, what you expect them to be. Well he has a way of kind of art riddling you with a certain intelligent edge so many of us lack yet want, at the same time speaking with complete clarity and this crazy engagement that often leaves you wondering. I mean David Foox is an artist. This is what he is.}} I don’t really know any other way to describe him, it’s an unconscious part of his soul and even if he was a lawyer first (which I love and find totally unique, don’t know too many shed lawyers) he was actually an artist first, and always that because you can’t hide your art. It simply took this element to lead him here. *Art is not just about what you produce it’s a lifestyle and it’s how you live it and how you present it to others, and eventually the world. David lives it, or rather it lives in him, very truthfully. These thoughts you read and the creations you see that come from his hands are, I think, pure and part of something much greater than even he himself is aware. (But then a person who is actively engaged in their desires would of course not be aware. That’s the art. ) And I do not mean to glorify here, or is exaggerate the word, it’s not. He simply has so many facets to himself and it is a joy to witness them unfold. David Foox is probably the only person I know aside from a greatly inspirational artist friend of mine, who is no longer here sadly, I would equate to a ‘real’ spirit. He is free and not blocked in the way so many others are, but then we don’t have to be….that’s also what I like about David, he allows you to see this (and to not be afraid of it). Although I don’t believe this is something you can explain to someone buy or get, I believe it is something you can only hone through practice and strive to reach. But for people like David who are born with it this gift simply becomes about self-actualization and letting others in. haha *Look up characteristics for self-actualizing people. David works Really hard and it seems like he is always working and there is nothing to me more inspiring and selfless than an artist who utilizes his time in the shape of an arrow, true true true and makes it fly. (The right way.) He doesn’t look backwards and honestly the thrill of knowing him comes from his direct intent to produce create and discuss what it is he gathers from life (light is important here), and then watching him apply it to his conceptions and from there adapt it to his core and let it infiltrate. Into something else. Watch his videos, and I really hope you do and that he does more. To me they are just as much apart of the art as the art is itself, along with his written messages. And Dragonss, dragonesses too (perhaps)….yes I am VERY excited to see his next body of work, well everyone loves dragons and there are simply not enough of them: Year of The Dragon is now 2012….Although David tends to keep his ideas private and just leaves people kind of begging for more. if you know what I mean. And giving away your hair? Okay more. Chandeliers
