STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to me that materials are, as near as possible, found images, uninfluenced by my own tastes and aesthetic prejudices. That\u2019s why I hunt books and magazines in places that generate randomness–bric-a-brac shops, charity book corners (constantly replenished with unimaginably eccentric juxtapositions: books on Japanese flower arrangement, English gardens, Marilyn Monroe, corn snakes, climbing in Kent, a soiled Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>, postcards from Guernsey), off shelves of the unwanted, old-hat picture books put out to pasture in the dust. Ordinarily I\u2019m a skeptic, but when collaging I\u2019ve an unflappable faith in a strange combination of synchronicity and reincarnation. There are few things more satisfying to me than resurrecting images, concocting live pictures out of what\u2019s been left for dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
