When I was 17 I scratched a Jenny Holzer truism into a wooden desk at the library of Royal Forest of Dean College, YOU ARE A VICTIM OF THE RULES YOU LIVE BY. Art and its work should be a process of perpetually unsettling the rules of whichever particular system you find yourself in. The walk will go on, the work will prevail, the world will still turn, as Auden once said, ‘you owe it to the world to do what you do best’, the tricky bit is finding out what that thing is. I am an artist who started with walking and kept going… It’s still the best answer I have come up with.
