I came to painting through sculpture, to images through objects. I think that images sit in the middle, somewhere between objects and words.

Michael Craig-MartinOften people do not properly value things that they are good at naturally because they find them too easy. That is very problematic.
Michael Craig-MartinThe identifying personal association with objects, which are not personal, is an important modern experience - our real association, the strands of our feelings about the objects that surround us. It's also because they are so familiar, we don't think of them as important in the world, but actually they are the world. We are living in a very material world.
