Catalogue Note
"I started on the cigarette things mainly for something to do with my hands and time, which I seemed to have a lot of when I wasn't smoking... I often think that smoking is a way of "having" time. In a similar way, what we think of as empty space is actually full of bacteria, gas "stuff" of various kinds. Making art is making things manifest." Sarah Lucas, 2005.
