That is a work of genius and merits its own post (and a special screening on the South Bank). Josh, that is not an artist’s statement.

Total rubbish. I'll never forget one artist's statement that said that his work was inspired by "the confluance of Casper". What the hell? My boyfriend, who was the director of the gallery that showed this artist, used to pull out that particular line whenever we needed a good laugh. I guess it's a bit too inclusive if one simply writes "I like to play with paint" or "I like to make fun of stupid politicians" or "I like bright modern colors". I think the statement above could use a rewrite. Ha ha, reminds me of the ridiculous artist’s statements I had to read through when I worked in art galleries in the city. Total rubbish.
