Artist statement
Concepts
I have written many statements, all of them seem OK at the time, but when I reread them months later, I can not help but get depressed. To spare myself this misery, all I can say is, make up your own mind, whatever you think is true, probably is.
Influences
Aesthetic/Formal Concerns, Humour, Architecture/Urban environment; own cultural identity (English, European); own gender (Male); Sexual Identity (Heterosexual)
