The studio is a laboratory, not a factory. An exhibition is the result of your experiments, but the process is never-ending. So an exhibition is not a conclusion.

When I left the Royal College, I decided I would only make paintings that I would want to look at myself, that felt close to my life.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was listening to a lot of hip hop, music like Public Enemy that was about raising consciousness, and I realised I could feed that directly into my work, using images in a way that was a bit like sampling - taking images from diverse places, exploring the contradictions without trying to hide the seams.
- I Am

There's a magic that comes from playing entirely to who you are. I've got my specialist subject - in the Mastermind sense - and I wouldn't change it, or who I am.
- New

The studio is a place where I can experiment before I'm prepared for an idea to become a body of work, or a new way of working, or a way of working that can sustain me over a period of time.
- Feel

- Nov 07, 2020
Sometimes, as I feel a door or an exit point in my work is closing, I'll try to create an opening so as not to stifle the creative process, which I see as a process that's never-ending.

- Nov 07, 2020
When I was painting in art school - and I think many painters in the 1980s worked similarly - a finished painting would often be constructed from lots of other paintings underneath.

- God

- Numbers
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We all studied math, but we don't go around spewing numbers. Religion should be used in the appropriate way.

- Nov 07, 2020
The church is not made up of one person but a whole congregation, and they should be able to interact with art without being told what to think.

I don't think I met anyone posh until I went to London.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Moving to Trinidad was a great experiment. I never knew what it would do to my work or even if it would be accepted by people and not be seen as me just falling off the edge of the earth.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love Manchester. I love Manchester United. But I would really struggle to be creative there. I feel a bit lost, over-familiar maybe. Maybe too stuck in my own web of history.
- Person

- Nov 07, 2020
I wouldn't say even that I'm a broadly political person. But on occasion, I have felt that I have no choice but to paint something with a strong moral stance.
