And then I feel like I kind of went to this phase of “oh, I should educate myself on this”. Basically I didn’t start reading until I started making them, which was like seven or eight years ago. But then I didn’t read anything for years. And I read a lot of manga when I was younger. Xavier Guilbert : What would you say is your culture in terms of comics ? Did you use to read, are you a big reader ? Or is that something that you came into later on ?Īidan Koch : Yeah, I mean, technically, I read - you know, like funnies as a kid. So I think rather than using language to do it, it’s easier to just do it. Which I think is hard, because that’s - I mean, people are automatically confused by my work, or like confused by figuring out where comics fit in these other areas. Even when you do installations, comics are involved - and if not comics… does a comics page printed on a t-shirt stops being comics ? It becomes different, but if it’s part of an installation, in relation with other drawings and other objects…Īidan Koch : Yeah… I try to avoid getting into definitions. Xavier Guilbert : Your work is difficult to put in boxes. So not really specifying any one in particular. It’s usually like “I do installations and sculptures and comics.” (laugh) But then, I’m like just an artist who does those things. Do you consider yourself as a comic book author, or would you say more that you are an artist who sometimes does comics ?Īidan Koch : I usually say - when I have to like, write bios or something, I usually say I’m a comic artist. Xavier Guilbert : It’s alway difficult to think of the right question to kick off an interview.
