I want my pictures to be things. I want them to be made up of marks that are physically and individually self-sufficient.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know it's a bit of an awful thing to say, but I really just make things up. My main goal is to make a picture that people find interesting to look at and that has my name on it.
I'm attracted to images that come from a personal exploration of a subject matter. When they have a personal stamp to them, then I think it becomes identifiable.
I take photographs with love, so I try to make them art objects. But I make them for myself first and foremost - that is important.
I like creating images.
I see my practice as picture making. Whatever is available, I use.
If I'm going to put my image into something, I'll put my image into something that I actually feel like I'd like to do.
An image is not simply a trademark, a design, a slogan or an easily remembered picture. It is a studiously crafted personality profile of an individual, institution, corporation, product or service.
I've been lucky enough to have had the luxury of being able to make the picture I've wanted to make each time on my own terms and without compromise.
I'm an image-maker.
What I do is create images, period.
