There's something imminent in the work, but the circle is only completed by the viewer.

I'm not an artist who has an agenda that's set by the work

I am really interested in the idea that art can reach wider, can go further, can go beyond the art world, why not? People are intelligent, people are visually intelligent, and why shouldn't the work be able to engage some of that?

Red is a colour I've felt very strongly about. Maybe red is a very Indian colour, maybe it's one of those things that I grew up with and recognise at some other level.

My first show sold within the first 3 minutes, and I came back to the studio and spent the next two and a half years making almost nothing

Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.

I used to empty the studio out and throw stuff away. I now don't. There will be a whole series of dead ends that a year or two down the line I'll come back to
