I am interested in the construction of things, film, literature,
painting…
For example; during the filming of Rosemary’s Baby Mia Farrow had
a nervous breakdown. She then turned up on set one day with her
hair cut short and the directors had to somehow incorporate this
into the film only adding to its surprising
narrative.
Recent paintings are made to order from an imaginary patron, Mr
Karts.
