Catalogue Essay
That's one of the reasons why the words started coming into my work in the first place. I began to feel very limited when I was making those early fiberglass pieces; I felt a real lack and i just didn't know how to get the other things I was interested in -like reading and the way words function--into the work. You are supposed to be an artist and you think this is what art is over here, but you are really interested in all these other things that are taking up more and more energy. I just didn't know how to integrate that energy until I was finally able to use it in the most obvious way possible by making a sign-or whatever -and it felt good.
