Never Let Money Get In The Way

Because It's Visual Art, A Lot Of It Comes From Childhood Experience But Then A Lot Comes From The Visual Language - In Advertising And Stuff Like That - Which Is Around Us.

I Think As An Artist You Have To Reinvent Yourself Every Day.

Great Art - Or Good Art - Is When You Look At It, Experience It And It Stays In Your Mind. I Don't Think Conceptual Art And Traditional Art Are All That Different.

When I Used To Do Abstract Paintings At School, Like Everyone Else, The Tutor Said These Would Make Great Curtains. I Would Always Neglect The Formal Stuff That Was Going On By Using Colour, Because Colour Kind Of Came Naturally To Me.

I Was Taught To Confront Things You Can't Avoid. Death Is One Of Those Things. To Live In A Society Where You're Trying Not To Look At It Is Stupid Because Looking At Death Throws Us Back Into Life With More Vigour And Energy. The Fact That Flowers Don't Last For Ever Makes Them Beautiful.
