Lot Essay

'I'm wary of consumerism - particularly the agendas of those who abuse it; sometimes the aspirations of those who are slave to it; always its effects socially; and of course the repercussions environmentally. But who isn't? I don't set out to make work that is 'anti-consumerist'. I make work in response to that which surrounds me -- that which most interests me and that which I am drawn to.'
