John Waters seems like a true artist to me. He isnt overly analytical, even as he explains the reasons for certain works of art and art practice. There's always some ambiguous phrase or strange tone in the way he expresses his ideas that make them vague and sort of poetic, leaving an audience who expected clarification from his talk disappointed, but affectionately catering to a crowd of people who make things themselves and understand the weird, uncertain process of creating an art object. It truly is confusing. Seldom do I begin a piece and know exactly what I will do or how it will eventually look, and seldom is the finished product any easier to place or describe. Waters does a good job of representing the world of contemporary art without really making sense of it, which is perfectly logical, since it doesn't make sense.
