Lot Essay



[My] work has evolved according to a process I didn't exactly plan. I come across a concept, symbol, artwork, music or philosophy that strikes a chord. From there I choose a way to incorporate this into my practice, and thus my life. I surround myself with representations or reproductions of these ideas and works, which are the motors. They give off energy. This drives me to familiarize myself with them inside and out, and this is the fuel.' (S. Sweeney, quoted in J. Harris, 'The Pains of Being Spencer Sweeney', in Art in America, January 13th, 2010).
