“It's odd. Though I've spent years working with and creating images, I feel most comfortable expressing myself through writing. I'd been in denial about this for many years.

Ironically language has pervaded all the work I have done - from my first forays into an art practice many years ago to my work with typography and book design.”

I still believe that pure mathematics is the most creative thing that humanity does, though I am no longer a part of it.”
