As a young art student in the 1970s, it seemed anything was possible. Now, years of study and teaching the history and theory of art and design has only reaffirmed this. So my interest in image-making, and my approach to it, is complicated. I make works that draw on a wide range of sources, using both images and texts, original and appropriated, hand-drawn and photographed.
Art should not be easy. The most relevant means of making art difficult today, it seems to me, is to confuse the boundaries of art with the very things it remains most resistant to assimilating: texts, words as images, and design generally. I like to wander around in those fields; come on in and let’s talk.
