Interview with Mø Air Force 1 & Art An Interview by THWAT --------------------------- On another front, camo reflects a very martial frame of mind. Camouflage markings are rooted as much in disappearing as in warrior markings. To me, there is no way to separate the iconic “camo” pattern from its military heritage. Camo is tribal and we seem to be in a warrior mode. The invasion of Iraq is a grim pronouncement our society’s urge to control–and even start war to do so. I’m not sympathetic to this and therefore don’t want to have anything to do with camo-as-pattern, particularly its martial affiliation. Therefore, I feel a drive to distance myself from this visual device. Yet, as an artist–an antenna of society–I am receiving and sending its pulse through my art whether I like it or not.
