"At their best artists can question habits of understanding, looking, and storytelling; investigating how personal and historical forms are constructed rather than fixed. For me, this means finding new ways to generate work that examines how images compose, enforce, or undermine -- rather than simply reflect -- ideas of history, dominant values, authenticity and authorship."
