"I wish to succeed in obtaining the narrowest of chances, to find a way to describe the in effable core of the human condition. I am speaking of the ability to make an image like Michelangelo's late drawings of Christ on the Cross. Where the silence of the room is amplified and the view's soul hurts from the truth. When one makes and image so lovingly, nobody can critique it because it is the real thing and words would only insult the image. I want to make art that is not slick or of the moment. I would rather make an image that is genuine and never viewed, than become well known for images that are popular but empty…or worse yet popular and supported only by theory."
