Joseph’s work is beautiful and i am sorry he endured so much in his life. I hope making his work gave him access to the privacy and joy he otherwise probably lacked.
His biography is messy like all human lives. We are gifted the products of his imagination, his yearnings, and the accidents that his life and art precipitated. The contradiction of a man living in a box pouring so much into a box that we who are 70 years removed can be so moved is really the heart of human creativity.
