I try to deal with the complexities of power and social life, but as far as the visual presentation goes I purposely avoid a high degree of difficulty.

It's a small world, but not if you have to clean it

All violence is the illustration of a pathetic stereotype.

Warhol's images made sense to me, although I knew nothing at the time of his background in commercial art. To be honest, I didn't think about him a hell of a lot.

I just say I'm an artist who works with pictures and words.

But I really resist categories – that naming is a closing down of meaning. Women's art, political art – those categorisations perpetuate a certain kind of marginality which I'm resistant to. But I absolutely define myself as a feminist.

What makes the production of my work so expensive? The whole installation thing - the construction, the objects, the technology. It really adds up.
