You went with a mountaintop lot? That's always a beautiful choice. Do you paint? "Uh … I bounce around. I've been, uh … Lately I've been getting into woodcarving." Oh. What are you working on now? "I … Oh wow, I really don't want to talk about my work. Heh. I like letting it speak for itself." Ah, so you agree with Barthes? About how the author's view on a work shouldn't be privileged? "I guess."
