Catalogue Note
"The idea for those pictures in Museum was more of the idea of ownership. We are caretakers of a piece of work if we own it. We tell ourselves we own it but really we are only caretakers for a period of time. At the end, when the flood comes and the Deluge, the art works are what remain."
