My background in science leads to a particular way of
looking at the structure of things. This links with the way
that people in early modern times tried to classify
everything. There was a desire then to order and control the
world and nature and the tools for doing it were rational
thought and analysis. Even dreams and the subconscious,
things that seemed beyond reason could be analysed (Freud).
So I came out of a humanist, scientific tradition but there
was something wrong with it all, for me. And I found that
art allowed me to explore the world in a way that seemed more
natural.
