Statement
‘The artist is always arranging things in the way to say to the onlooker, “See, here it is. It’s what you thought you knew, but it’s different isn’t it?” It’s not the shock of the new, it’s the shock of the familiar, arranged so that we can actually see it. Art can unlock dead lives and quicken the dead places.’ Jeanette Winterson from Why be happy when you can be normal?
