I do seem to try to make things harder and harder for myself. In some perverse way, obstacles interest me and I'm drawn to projects that end up being incredibly laborious.

My work is drawn to the political but avoids an agenda. There is no inherent critique or support.

I'm interested in the murky areas where there are no clear answers - or sometimes multiple answers. It's here that I try to imagine patterns or codes to make sense of the unknowns that keep us up at night. I'm also interested in the invisible space between people in communication; the space guided by translation and misinterpretation.

There are very daunting obstacles to carry out this investigation successfully. They have little interest in revealing these activities that are covert.

I'm drawn in some strangely natural way to immersing myself in a milieu whose rules I don't understand, where there are things you can't access simply by being intelligent or doing well in school.

I don't try to make the guitar sound like the harpsichord or lute. That makes you end up being like a bad copy.
