"I use a lot of repetition. And it becomes a filmic way of talking because as you put the same image after the other, even though it’s the exact identical image, everyone sees something changing from one image to the next."

"My approach to painting is pragmatic. I work with different materials and I generally do a lot of tests before I do paintings- tests on paints to see which is the best to use on a certain material and how it’s going to hold up; how the fastenings are going to work; how the light is going to work. My approach tends to be from experiments. I need the challenge. If I know how to do something well, there’s no need to do it all the time because it becomes a little monotonous. So I like to find a challenge."
