I think of many of my photographs as being obviously symbolic but not symbolically obvious. There isn't any specific correlation between the symbols in this image and any content that I have in mind.

I have gradually confused photography and life and as a result of this I believe I am able to work out of myself at an almost precognitive level.

I've learned over the years that when you get a clue to another possibility to follow it through.

Well, I do think, particularly the way I work, the better images occur when you're moving to the fringes of your own understanding. That's where self-doubt and risk taking are likely to occur. It's when you trust what's happening at a non-intellectual non-conscious level that you can produce work that later resonates, often in a way that you can't articulate a response to.

I try to begin working with no preconceived ideas.
