Some of my interest in the masks and the whips was this concept of this performance of power, which is very much the concept of the Vikings; this willful overtaking and performance, when in fact they died out very quickly. So I was really interested in the concept of physically looking very powerful but being otherwise. That’s been an on-going current in all my work whether it’s carving walls, carving paper or creating lithographs or silkscreens and was always this concept of fragility and dominance and fragility and power.
