"When people ask what my work is about, I often list a number of common threads that go through it. The first thread is my interest in poetry. The second is my interest in the relationship between text and image. The third is my interest in collaboration. Finally comes my interest in the grotesque and in animal imagery to depict my observations of human interaction or behavior. These interests manifest themselves in various combinations in most of my book projects and paintings."
