"Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore" (1999) Things that appear as images or pictures, but that somehow impose on me a sense of their actual weight, density and volume, of their physical being in the world. This sensation is then even further enhanced when a picture starts to move; when it comes to life. "Cinema-in-the-Round" (2007) I am an autodidact - that's why I use bigger words than I should. It's a classic sign. Guardian interview (2008) See, we assemble. Samsung, Viking, Gaggenau, and Whirlpool. Here, here. Here, we exist. In the streets. And houses, in cars, and fields. As ever-present as sunshine. "GreenScreenRefrigeratorAction" (2010) This is a proposal for a show, in which I imagine a Newly Born Limb, the Ghost of A Flea, and an Endless Note Petrified in Stone. I picture two prosthetic arms, one ancient, one modern, reaching out as far as they can, to grasp all that there is in the world.
