AW: The couple have described the trails as “stream of consciousness” art, and the works as “expressionistic, for sure.” More like ‘stream of incontinence’ I’d say! While such statements are clearly bullshit I can’t blame the couple for using them, as a precedent as been set by a tradition of professional artists using urine and feces in their work. My favourite recent example was featured as a post on this blog: http://artwank.tumblr.com/post/155653882/dog-pisses-all-over-warhol.
