Catalogue Note
“I think in what I do… I endeavour to strive for a sense of authenticity...dirt is real and is everywhere; it is accessible whether in the streets of London or in the villages of Colombia, dirt is democratic and free, so a dirty canvas is an extension or a reality even if you romanticise it.”
