I work with whatever mediums seems best suited to evoking the sorts of thoughts and emotions I am interested in playing with.

Of course, all my work is photographed and I also take quite a lot of photographs of work in production.

The studio keeps notes on the details of editions and production processes and the like.

I feel that there's hardly any irony in my work; if there's anything, there'll be sincerity, which people sometimes find hard to deal with.

The way we look at nineteenth-century English social realism and appreciate the working classes of the emerging industrial revolution.

In one hundred years time people will look back and think 'these people were really worried about the environment, they were looking at things to do with global warming, and this is why they were making work about these issues'.

I finished VCA at the height of the last big recession in the early 90s, and seeing that I was not going to be able to join one of the dwindling number of commercial galleries, I started an ARI called the Basement Project which ran for three years. Things came a little at a time and all of a sudden it's 20 years later and I'm still making art, which is really all I ever wanted to do.
