Lot Essay

‘I’ve always tried to invoke a level of complexity. Even if the piece superficially looks like one light bulb going on and off, there are things immersed within the texture of the work that allude to other spaces and possibly other times. A work has to have a resonance so that it can move on different levels. I’m interested in evoking polyphony, superimposition, layers, levels, the occluded and the visibility of the mask. There are points of entry, as Burroughs would say. Certain conduits for thinking become different avenues for travel, rehearsing different scenarios, different routes that it’s possible to take’ (C. Wyn Evans, quoted in ‘Innocence and Experience’, in Frieze, Issue 71, November-December 2002, www.frieze.com/issue/article/innocence_and_experience/).
