Chatou itself embodies my philosophy: objects being reused, rediscovered and recontextualised rather than discarded.

There is something deeply pleasurable about moving through an exhibition alone, at my own pace, without having to explain what I am looking at, discuss whether I like it, or negotiate someone else's attention span. Gallery-going, for me, is a solitary activity. I prefer solitude to participation, looking to doing.
