TED ARNOLD

In the end it is about everything. Everything human that can be fit into it – passions and doubts and incapacities and sensualities, odd thoughts and curiosities. My work is about how little we can know, and how powerful that little is.

Once, as a teenager in India, I looked under the hood of a car which had carried my family halfway to Agra before collapsing. The engine compartment was riddled with string, coat hanger wire and torn sheets wound tightly around hoses. An old stately goatherd appeared and pointed with his staff to something. That something was then wrapped tightly with something handy and so on to Agra. I have for some time felt that we are like that car. Patched and lashed and cobbled together, recovering from each blow with the hanger wire, compensating for erosions with torn-sheet bindings. We are ridiculous miracles, pathetic miracles. Contradictions and inconsistencies are our mode of survival
