Johnson is a grass roots artist; I have never liked the toil involved in gallery searches and finding "representation". Who does? I like the freedom involved with doing things for myself, finding a raw space and inventing a body of work for that space.   I hate to take the time away from creating to do the "business part" of Art and therefore, I am usually unsuccessful at selling it and having it seen. I am (in my head) creating the largest body of non-lucrative work in the world. I enjoy falling into opportunities via invitationals, "Guerrilla Art fare", or the occasional "call for artists" entry.   I consider myself a "maker of stuff", as I am limited by no boundaries and no specified outcomes. .   I like doing everything involved with making something, no holes barred.   I am obligated only to myself, to do what comes natural to me.   My work by nature is autobiographical - it's all about me and my relationship with the world.   Yes, I am narcissistic, self centered and egotistical. To know me is to know my work vise versa.   I am a complex person as most people are, however, I tend to complicate simple things, and simplify those that are complex. I would consider myself primarily base; I am definitely not an intellectual.   I live my life on a dichotomy, being the optimistic pessimist that I am. My warped view of reality is confounded by the fact that I am constantly reminded that I have no real control over it. I hate that! I can identify the day I became miserable in life, as the day I voted. I am not overly political, it makes me too angry but I still care enough to cancel my father's vote.
