Question
When you were showing your work, the use of glass in the irons, you were speaking about the fragility, one thing that you didn’t mention but I think you use a lot is Polaroids. Could you tell us a bit more about that?

Yes, you’re right, but this symposium was about ‘Why sculpture, Why Here’, so I thought that this selection was more appropriate. But I’ve done a large investigation into Polaroid work, and I actually play with a number of similar problems in the construction of my Polaroid images, for instance, some of the pieces that I have done in the last four years are sculptural pieces before they are actually shot with a Polaroid. Maybe I need to come back for another symposium about photography.
