Will was super-uber nice, a gentleman, a scholar, and a wonderful host. But, I have to say, I was very disappointed. Will, if you’re reading this, it’s not your fault. It’s mine. I had one idea in my head of how your work would look and make me feel and I was incredible mistaken. And I know that you can take a beating, so here I go.

I think that most of the work in his home was interesting. I loved how he envisioned his work and depicted his characters in their various poses on the doors. It’s an unusual depiction of a life I never see, and I’m glad that he takes the time to pay homage to these few, ‘marginalize’ people. But I have to say I hated his floor piece. I know I don’t know the situation very well, but I thought the floor plan was poorly designed. The piece didn’t flow and his subject matter was varied too extremely. It was hard to recognize how the pieces related to each one another. I think everybody hyped it up a little too much because of it’s sheer size, but I’m a firm believer in quality over quantity. Size doesn’t matter; it’s all in how you use it.

He did teach me a lot about how to live and work and achieve my dreams. I appreciate his will to express himself. Just because I don’t like his most important piece doesn’t mean I don’t think I can’t learn a lot from him.
