Catalogue Note
“There are certainly links between my works as an artist and as a writer. Techniques, attitudes, and themes recur in both kinds of practice. And yet I try to keep the two separate as far as possible. My visual art is more abstract, silent, non-communicative and non-generous, while I write in a more flowing way and use a lot of humour. As a writer I am almost burlesque; as an artist I’m bone-dry.”
