Lot Essay

"My project is not a p.c. project... I'm trying to make things you can laugh at. It allows you to laugh about issues that are potentially serious... and the fact that 'Blossom' and 'Homage' [this work] give me pleasure doesn't mean you have to pay extra special attention to them." (In: 'Chris Ofili', London 1988, unpaged.)
