It's Art That's Taught Me To Think

I Just See Myself As An Object In The Final Image. I Know I'm Experiencing It When I'm There Working On It. I'm There To Be Worked With, As Anything Else That I Work With.

When I Was At Art School, A Lot Of Art Education Is About Art Being A Means Of Self-expression, And As An 18-year-old I Didn't Know If I Had A Huge Amount I Wanted To Express. It Was A Big Moment When I Decided I Wanted To Shift The Emphasis Or The Intention Of My Art From Something I Disgorged Myself Upon And Something That Actually Fed Me Or Made Me See The World Or Understand The World.

The Relationship Between The Public And The Artist Is Complex And Difficult To Explain. There Is A Fine Line Between Using This Critical Energy Creatively And Pandering To It.
