"In a bit of a quandary as to how to proceed along the slippery slope of my artistic career...the idea of urban and corporate capitalism and the dehumanization that is involved began to assume proportions that I thought important to delve into, with wit and wisdom to be sure, but mostly paradoxically, blatantly, absurdly."

"So, possible a man or woman, possibly dead, certainly incapacitated, definitely a bother that is unexplained, should be explored. I have done about a dozen with supine people - all enigmatic, all absurd."

From a letter written to friend Abe Rudisill - July, 2007.
