“Hidden qualities are very important in creating this sense of evolving time in art that appears to be fixed in the moment. I believe the ‘truth’ is multi-layered and should be contained beneath the surface of a work of art: there is no longer any single truth; rather, there is an endless combination of truths. Only the view through all these layers can give the whole picture of a very complex world.”
