Mirrors are very important to me. It reflects the internal world as well. What you perceive does not always mirror what you actually see. The screen is like a mirror as well, when I do my work, nearly always at night, I constantly have a reflection of my face, and I use my face a lot in my work, because its there anyway.

I have wondered why your collages are often ambivalent and mysterious. You can hardly see, a bit like reflections in a pool. An exception is "thinking of you".

My intention is to give the sense of walking by a mirror in a room and you catch the tail-end of yourself or you're going past a shop-window and you have to stop and pick yourself out. That interests me, not being able to recognise yourself at first glance. It's deliberately cryptic because of the fact that I am in a chair - it amuses me that I play with clues about it. Most people don't know, and this gives me freedom, and it amuses me; it is so obvious, why can't you see, I am spelling it out for you. People just can't see it, I think that's hysterical. It is a play on image and body image.
