I think that the exactitude of the photograph has a sort of compelling nature based in its power to duplicate life. But to me the real power of photography is based in death: the fact that somehow it can enliven that which is not there in a kind of stultifying frightened way, because it seems to me that part of one's life is made up of a constant confrontation with one's own death.

I think that every so-called history book and film biography should be prefaced by the statement that what follows is the author's rendition of events and circumstances.

I feel uncomfortable with the term public art, because I'm not sure what it means. If it means what I think it does, then I don't do it. I'm not crazy about categories.

I'm living my life, not buying a lifestyle.

Direct address has been a consistent tactic in my work, regardless of the medium that I'm working in.

What I'm trying to do is create moments of recognition.

Images are made palpable, ironed flat by technology and, in turn, dictate the seemingly real through the representative.
