I'm an image-maker.
I think it's somebody else's job to decide what my image is.
I have so many photos of me where I'm laughing like a crazy person. I don't know what it is, but I just go with it.
I try to get out of an image's way in order to let it articulate what is hidden.
There are these painterly things that happen while I'm working.
My art originates from hallucinations only I can see. I translate the hallucinations and obsessional images that plague me into sculptures and paintings.
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.
Once I make a picture, I never look at it again.
