Artist's statement: "The type of art that interests me is where the artist successfully REDESIGNS REALITY. e.g. Van Gogh, Kirchner, Picasso, Braque, Leger, Malevich, Gontcharova, Klee, Moore, Kossof, Bacon, Howson, Hopper, Hockney, Bellamy .......and many more. I can enjoy how these artists have taken reality and changed it into something else -' made it their own'. Subject matter is unlimited, the art comes in the designing." "NOT REDESIGNING REALITY, but simply using it (real people, corpses, videos, tents, sheds, urinals, skeletons) seriously weakens the art - and 'shocking', 'clever' or 'mysterious' subject matter is no substitute for designing.
