Being Able To Make A

Some People Have Told Me They Remember The Film That One Of My Images Is Derived From, But In Fact I Had No Film In Mind At All.

I Didn't Want To Make 'high' Art, I Had No Interest In Using Paint, I Wanted To Find Something That Anyone Could Relate To Without Knowing About Contemporary Art. I Wasn't Thinking In Terms Of Precious Prints Or Archival Quality; I Didn't Want The Work To Seem Like A Commodity.

I Wonder How It Is That I’m Fooling So Many People, I’m Doing One Of The Most Stupid Things In The World…and People Seem To Be Falling For It.

In Horror Stories Or In Fairy Tales, The Fascination With The Morbid Is Also, At Least For Me, A Way To Prepare For The Unthinkable… That’s Why It’s Very Important For Me To Show The Artificiality Of It All, Because The Real Horrors Of The World Are Unmatchable, And They’re Too Profound. It’s Much Easier To Absorb – To Be Entertained By It, But Also To Let It Affect You Psychologically – If It’s Done In A Fake, Humorous, Artificial Way.

I Am Always Surprised At All The Things People Read Into My Photos, But It Also Amuse Me. That May Be Because I Have Nothing Specific In Mind When I'm Working. My Intentions Are Neither Feminist Nor Political. I Try To Put Double Or Multiple Meanings Into My Photos, Which Might Give Rise To A Greater Variety Of Interpretations.
