 We live in a world with this enormous bombardment of images. I try to slow everything down. I try to take this image storm and slow it down through this archaic primitive medium of charcoal drones. I make art out of dust. There's a fragility to these highly aggressive images. I'm trying to exploit a medium that hasn't been exploited and elevate drawing so it competes in scale to abstract expressionism, competes in mass to sculpture. Art by its nature is political. It's a very highly subjective point of view. That's the most important thing with the idea of witnesses. I think a lot of what I do is based on rage, on rage and frustration that I want things to be better.
