Alan W. Moore
Are you in debt How Did you get into Debt?
I have not yet begun to go into significant debt. It is coming...
How do you make a living?
I am retired from a decade of precarious teaching. Nothing from that. Today, I live from funds secreted from an investment account started by my grandfather in 1930... that and the kindness of family. Very occasionally, I get grants to continue my work.
How does your debt affect your art practice?
Younger people cannot participate in my projects -- in collective projects I depend upon to do my work -- because they haven't the time free from their work. I feel I have nothing to say or share with the young creative indebted today that resonates with their oppressive experiences.
How does your economic reality effect your art?
