We both edit our work down to a point where there is a certain ambiguity. The images I incorporate in my work are very ambiguous until I put them together, until the configuration gives them a kind of meaning and function. But I then try to empty the work of that meaning by talking about its conceptual framework.

There are representational aspects to everything. The work is about recognizing abstraction and making abstraction accessible. These things can be anything and it could be something very important. I draw a letter. I don't have to dwell on it. I don't have to make brush marks. There is a brush mark - a trace - but that's all. I'm interested in making the number or letter clear and just precise enough to recognize the model that it's coming from.
