I like to use light as a material, but my medium is actually perception. I want you to sense yourself sensing - to see yourself seeing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not faithful to one particular medium, and it's what I try to teach to people who work with me.
Mediums change you by their very existence. They do this on fundamental levels because they force you to favour certain parts of your brain over others.
Whenever you look at light, basically it's just air. It has no tactileness to it. It's totally without density.
I like to work with it so that you feel it physically, so you feel the presence of light inhabiting a space. My desire is to set up a situation to which I take you and let you see. It becomes your experience.
When you're doing something where you really like the material, it doesn't matter what medium it's in.
I will continue doing things irrespective of the medium as long as I'm excited about it.
I can always see light in any situation. It's just the way I'm made.
I don't feel drawn to lightness, I need something more. I feel that - oh, I hate saying this, it sounds so wanky - but I feel a real urge to give voices to people we don't usually hear from in real life.
I have always just made things. I don't see what I make as being defined by a medium or aesthetic. It probably comes more from a fundamental restlessness, an attempt to create tools for questioning or understanding, and I have always been interested in using a wide spectrum of mediums to do this.
I work in a medium where I get to be totally invisible and I get great pleasure from that, being a pretty self-conscious person.
