A lot of ideas don't translate very well into art. To say, "Oh my god, the grass is green ..." You're going to end up with a big green painting.

The idea was to take fine art and put it into the location of the movie scripts. The script itself is collage - some of the lines come from actual movies and I've written others to make the text work with the found image. In this way, the details of old dead guys' paintings (from the collection of the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, where this work will be exhibited in relation to the historical paintings) become illustrations of the movie scripts. I found this mélange of high art and Hollywood amusing.

Ideally I would like the work to be a hybrid between painting and photography.

Talent is cheap, you have to be possessed or obsessed, rather. You really have to feel like you cannot not do art, and that is something you can't will.

I go back and forth between wanting to be abundantly simple and maddeningly complex.

I could never figure out why photography and art had separate histories. So I decided to explore both.

Photos should suggest a word(s) and vice versa. They should be equal and interchangeable.
