I have always had a great interest in visually documenting the past.

It is better to be looked over than overlooked.

I thought it would be my one and only exhibition, so I decided to call it My Major Retrospective.

I believe that it's better to be looked over than it is to be overlooked.

As bad as we are at remembering names and phone numbers and word-for-word instructions from our colleagues, we have really exceptional visual and spatial memories.

Small gestures can have a big impact.

I really love to make sweeping historical gestures that are like little illustrations of novels.

We share a huge visual memory bank, mostly through painting and other images in history. I think when a modern photograph taps into those, sometimes very subliminally, it makes people respond.

At a certain time, an artist needs a big retrospective. At other times, they need a more focused exhibition. It's a different story each time; it's about establishing a dialogue.

Each implementation of human effort, however minute the overall result may be, is summed up in the gesture of the sower - sometimes an awe-inspiring gesture.
