Lot Essay

"For me, it's more powerful to leave things unsaid, or quiet, or empty, than to really go in and try to make something shocking or spooky. It's like watching a suspense film - what goes on in your head is so much more powerful than what you see, so if you're constantly expecting something, your imagination runs wild" ("Brilliant - New Art From London", Minneapolis 1995.)
