"Jesus may as well be Superman, God is better understood as The Force,
and the Devil is more easily recognised within the actions of our politicians and global corporate entities. These are our contemporary codes of living practice. Our urban mythology is now translated through comic books and television sitcoms. The distinction between good and bad plague our existence in every way yet remain ambiguous in their representation".

Anthony Lister, New York, 2007

Q - Where do you situate your notion of a superhero in terms of culture today? - A - At the top of everything else that is holy and pure. - Q - Where do you feel this fits into your practice overall and in relation to other works? - A - I feel like it is the conceptual language I have been searching for my entire life. I always knew that the most obvious solutions were right in front of me but continually fight with myself about not letting solutions come easily. I guess I am in a perpetual state of accepting the obvious as a valid source of inspiration. - Q - You have described yourself primarily as a painter with video works and installations being an extension of this, could you discuss a little on how these link together for you and also what it is about painting that attracts you to it? - A - Its all problem solving to me.
