“I don’t want anyone to feel too comfortable looking at the work. I want them to feel engaged and something emotional, but I don’t want it to feel safe or known.”

“I think that artists need to ask themselves this question, to what extent are they doing anything to further their medium or are they just doing this because they’ve become part of the machine of the art world?”
©Baldwin Lee
“Look after your mistakes and accidents, they are often your subconscious giving you strategies for future work.”
