THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

When I’m making Jacuzzis, I’m always thinking about how one’s body would be positioned. Maybe there’s points of comfort, maybe there’s awkwardness. You conceptualize yourself in those weird spaces. Then the colors are subjective to the name of the Jacuzzi who I meant it for. They are noncommissioned commissions. I’ll look at the shape and I’ll think, “Hm,” like, “Sylvester Stallone.” It’s not about the person. It’s about the idea of the person.
