I have no interest in making a work that doesn't elicit a feeling.

There is something very strange and unsettling for me about making a work that doesn't fit with what's the norm or what's acceptable. There's something both liberating about it and challenging. I can imagine it doing more harm than good.

I took a political stance early on, but I don't think my work is overtly political. I respond to events.

I don't think that my work is very moralistic - at least, I try to avoid that. I grew up with that sermonising tendency, and I don't think visual work operates like that.

My work is really abject and self-effacing sometimes. I mean, it's big and overwrought, but it's just paper dolls, and it's kind of silly.

The illusion is that most of my work is simply about past events: a point in history and nothing else.
