When I Left The Royal

The Studio Is A Laboratory, Not A Factory. An Exhibition Is The Result Of Your Experiments, But The Process Is Never-ending. So An Exhibition Is Not A Conclusion.

There's A Magic That Comes From Playing Entirely To Who You Are. I've Got My Specialist Subject - In The Mastermind Sense - And I Wouldn't Change It, Or Who I Am.

The Studio Is A Place Where I Can Experiment Before I'm Prepared For An Idea To Become A Body Of Work, Or A New Way Of Working, Or A Way Of Working That Can Sustain Me Over A Period Of Time.

When I Left The Royal College, I Decided I Would Only Make Paintings That I Would Want To Look At Myself, That Felt Close To My Life.

There Was A Point In Time Where The Thought Of People Even Talking About Me Made Me Anxious. Physically.
