Lot Essay

"Where I'm from is integral to my art. People continually ask me, 'Is it really like that down there?' Well, the answer is yes. I want my work- the drawings- the photographs, the signs- everything to be seen as a totality. Mine is an interrelating vision. For me, nothing is in isolation." (New Color: Eighteen Photographic Essays, Abbeville Press, 1984, p. 41)
