| My work is based on the conviction that art and life, although unequivocally not the same, are indivisible — that art should raise questions and not be separate from everyday life. If I had a goal it would be to extend the definitions of what constitutes an aesthetic experience — hence the materials I use. I like to blur the difference between art and life and make them completely the same. |
