"We sought to strike a balance between it being quite avant-garde but also maintaining a human element that would encourage people to stay in the space."
"I hope the sculptures provoke a sense of uncanny liveliness, an impression that they might breathe, shift, or activate themselves at any moment."
“My fascination with mythology is something I can’t quite control. I’m drawn to the way myths hover over the real world like a layer of mist, always more beautiful, more seductive than what we call ‘reality.’”
“Icons I am drawn to are not to intentionally provoke for shock value but to observe our own preconceived judgements and prejudices.”
"The screen represents the essential, yet rapidly dissolving, boundary between the physical self and the digital framework of contemporary culture."
“The absurd becomes a tool to access something emotional but indirect - a crooked route to honesty.”
“Using character allows me to create distance; it acts as a lens that reveals belief systems and behaviours that once felt completely normal but now appear strange or unsettling.”
“My interest becomes about ‘how’ rather than ‘how well’ something has been made; it gives me an indifference towards right and wrong.”
“I am very content with a polyvalent practice; it is a blessing to continue being surprised by where an idea leads to.”
“My surfaces feel layered and weathered because I want them to look and feel like they went through something to get here. Because that’s been my life.”
“I’m drawn to the intersection of the spiritual and the natural because I’m interested in capturing moments that feel both fleeting and timeless.”
"It really opened up to me how much my thinking of the world was so narrow, and that any view of someone else changes when you give them the openness that the sign series was able to offer."
“A-A’, B-B’, which will take place both in Glasgow and Turin, feels very much like a project for the age of Brexit – a divided painting, a divided car, two venues bridging an imminent divide.”
"They are hybrid figures. They are part Victorian, part African, part Dutch. They are an expression of the identity of a contemporary post-colonial birth."
“Although my work draws on Art History, the issues I’m interested in are generally rooted in the present.”
“The YBA thing wasn’t exactly a movement, but it was the last and closest thing we’ve had to a movement in recent times where a whole crop of artists emerged together apparently responding to a mood and sequence of events.”
"AI is just us, in aggregate—it is beautiful and requires rethinking how we arrange life."
“The rhythm of the colours seemed to pulse and move, creating a visual beat through the space.”
"I am not sure how the Trump phenomenon will manifest in my work but I do know it is impossible for anyone to negate it and its ability to submerge into our subconscious.."
“Places like Frieze, it’s like an acid trip: the plastic surgery, the gross clothes, the money. I’m not making a judgement, I’m just saying “bloody hell can we all see this!”
“it is the first time that everything that surrounds the making of art has stopped which is both daunting, when this is your livelihood, but also a real focus puller on the primal human need to make art.”
