Adam McEwen talks aesthetics with Inside the Artist's Studio

I think humor gives people alternative ways of speaking about things. It's like a useful way of making an entry into a subject. It can be a kind of glue to hold together two opposing ideas. It's a sort of parallel factor that isn't necessarily the main thing you're talking about, but it allows other things to happen.
