“…I guess it comes together in the sense that I’m always on the tip of comedy and absurdity and Dadaism. That’s it. I’m not interested in clarifying stuff. I’m in the moon cult. I’m not in the sun cult. The sun cult is about architecture, measurement. And that’s great. That’s how BRIDGES work and how the building isn’t collapsing. I’m not a part of that. I am from the drunken-style moon cult that’s interested in subconsciousness, absurdity, in the river of the subconscious. I’m not interested in daylight. You know, I work at night. And I like talking in tongues, I like, you know, stream of consciousness. So, in that way, the songs and all that stuff is all about that kind of thing. And I hope the work is like that too. The paintings are about free associative assemblage.” Taken from an interview with Kari Cholnoky for Carets and Sticks, August 31, 2013. Brian Belott was born in 1973 in Orange, NJ.
