Every new project and/or performance that I undertake usually involves an exploration of various new methods and materials. I find this to be incredibly challenging. However, even though these investigations may be very exciting, my work is not process-driven. I love to brainstorm, and concept, for me, dictates form. Although the element of chance may play a role within the evolution of a specific piece, most projects are previsualized. This brainstorming mode, from initial spark to the actual realization of the final work, may take months, sometimes years. Most often, ideas for these projects strike me in comfortable surroundings, such as: hanging out with my partner “talking art,” driving in my car listening to Pet Shop Boys, watching mainstream television with hearty doses of WWF, taking a bubble bath, or simply observing human nature in unexpected situations. For me, these environments help promote the stimulation of clear thought. That place, slightly above the subconscious, is a wonderful realm in which to dwell.
