Things

I want to make things, not concepts. I want to make beautiful things that resonate with people. I want people to understand without words. I want to create an instantly recognisable visual language. I want people to look at my works and say "Ah, that just must be a jdholden". I want to create monuments. I want to create resonance. I want writers and critics to find the words.
