My work tends to come out of personal experience of social and political issues and is often a way of working out my own fears and angst. That is a fairly common artistic urge, but I think that the artists’ book form is probably the most intimate and perhaps the most perfect form for presenting these concerns and having a dialog with another person.
Even though the narrative content is usually personal as well as political, I am also very interested in process, and that also figures into my work, specifically the mechanics of various photo-mechanical and print media such as offset, HP Indigo, inkjet and screen printing. I love ink on paper. —Excerpted from http://www.spaceheat.com/phil, accessed 7-29-2021
