Modern society ensures that we seldom have to confront either the creation, or the destruction of that we consume and experience : Birth and Death, Good and Evil, Creation and Destruction ; we are unwilling to face the polar reaches of the great dichotomies, preferring the comfort of the middle ground, the mundane norm. Art is about directly facing the peripheries : it is undoubtedly about Creation, but it is also about Destruction in its most noble form, for Art is constantly taking apart the Universe to see exactly how it works. Art is about recording the events which occur that all else may take place ; it is giving a face to the ghost in the machine, and a body to The Invisible hand, a voice to the silent majority, and a name to the Spirit of an Age.

"The only job of an artist is to remember everything." Chuck Palahniuk
