我正在尝试调整自己的生活、消费和艺术创作，思考到我们面临的问题。这不仅仅是工作内容的问题，例如，我暂停了油画，因为油画会产生太多有毒废物，还有拍摄电影和摄影项目需要高昂的成本和差旅费。即使使用水彩，我还是选择我认可的媒介，不能有镉等重金属，否则它们会进入附近的河道。如果这听起来有点价值，那么对美感重置也有益处。我试图用水彩探索一种表现主义式的极简主义绘画，我试图找到应对解决水、环境、新冠疫情、当下等复杂问题的语言。
I am trying to readjust my life, my consumption and artistic production to take account of the issues we face. It is not just a question of content of the work, so for example I have eliminated oil painting as it generated too much toxic waste – as well as the cost and travel required for film and photographic projects. Even with watercolor, my chosen medium – it is necessary to eliminate heavy metals like cadmium which would otherwise get into a nearby watercourses. If this is sounding a bit worthy – there are also gains to be made from an aesthetic reset. I am exploring a sort of expressionist minimalism with watercolor, as I attempt to find a language capable of addressing the complexities of water, the environment, the Covid-19 epidemic – and the present.
