Statement

I have always been interested in the relationship between art and power, which for many artists and intellectuals often seems to take the form of an aggressively opportunistic process of conformity. Breaking away from the trail of slime requires a degree of moral courage – and, of course, is not rewarded with medals and honours. Nevertheless, the non-conformists around the world who have at least a partial public audience are taking action to make the reservoir of discontent public.
