Quickly, i read over the interview and realized that I wasn't engaged at all in what it had to say because i had yet to see any work by Kruger. I did some searches on her art and found them to be, to my surprise, INCREDIBLY engaging. From the first glance at the interview I could tell that Kruger's work was going to be very personal, but I then realized that the depth of her personal thoughts expanded into the world of advertisement in a universal, relate-able way. Her style is very specific to her, but yet commercial in a sense that it is easy to follow and see the whole picture.
Taking another look at the interview, i revisited the fact that Kruger worked as a graphic designer for a magazine, and could immediately see the influence. Although, I completely agree with Kruger that her work is ART and not graphic design. Her work reflects her persona vividly, which ties into her question, "'Why have you chosen to call yourself an artist?'". That question made me consider my own work and it's worth to my personality. I think all art should tell a story about the artist in a way.
