 I'm Nick, Nick Zara, and I contributed to working alongside Emma Crw in Texas. We visited the capital and spoke to lots of people, and my contribution was to try and respond visually to what we saw, so I'll just say a little bit about the images that we see here. I have to say I did not know really what I was doing at all. I was a bit resistant to a narrative approach. I think perhaps Emma wanted me to tell a story. I don't think I really wanted to tell a story. I think I wanted to see what would happen. So we would go and sit in Congress, up in the galleries, and I was just interested really to see what would come out if I just started painting and making things. I was particularly interested in trying to find bits of rubbish and odd materials lying around, which if you look closely you can bring the camera in, you can see that there's quite a lot of collage material in these pictures. The collage material is picked out of rubbish bins and stuff like that, and I was quite interested in the traces that people leave behind. I didn't know really what I wanted to say, except that I do think generally like the French guy Paul Valloy said, a bad poem is one which collapses into meaning, so I wanted to avoid being too deterministic in what was on offer and allow people to find their own sort of resonance and just see what occurred. I certainly found that it also engaged people, people wanted to know what I was up to, and so a lot of conversations happened just because I was doing some painting. Here for example this guy is looking at the head in the gallery, look at his photo up there, so I did the painting and then I took the photo of the guy watching what was going on, and afterwards I think we had a bit of a chat because he was noticing what I was up to, he said, why are you doing? So I said, well look are you just having to look good in that thing, and you know, what are you doing? So I started talking about stuff.
