What I'm trying to do is create moments of recognition.
Barbara Kruger
Image
I don't necessarily think that installation is the only way to go. It's just a label for certain kinds of arrangements.

You make history when you do business.
Barbara Kruger

Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level, as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways.
Barbara Kruger
Image
There's a moment of recognition. It's that white-light kind of stuff that just works. I love that. And you know it when it happens, whether it's a movie, music, a building, a book.
