Review Quotes
Art Ltd Magazine
"With multiple painting, sculpture, and photography series, and with styles and techniques from the digital to the aggressively analogue, the book is lively and eclectic. Text by Lucie-Smith, a critic who’s also a photographer and poet, weaves a useful meta-narrative of the artist’s long preoccupation with the material functioning of our perceptions. His newest works are the Life Burgers, solid silver or gold-plated sculptures, intimate in scale, ornate in crafted detail, in which wild animals perch as garnishes atop sandwich buns overstuffed with cars, watches, and various trappings of wealth and leisure. A bit rococo and sophisticated in their satire, like all the disparate works in the book they speak to the material and spiritual imbalances of human society."
