Catalogue Note
"Since the death of painting everyone has been fucking the corpse. When I work I'm like Dr. Frankenstein, reconstructing the corpse or pulling many dead ideas into one whole. This is a scientific reconstruction but full of horrible doubt that what I do will get out of control. I mean, what happens if I get my hands on a bad brain?" - Steven Parrino, 1984
