Having visited a lot of exhibitions lately that feature long since departed artists, it’s obvious to state that, in the end, it’s the work that endures. (Well, for the good ones anyway.)

I don’t consciously create work with this concept of the future in mind, but, whatever our walk of life the notion of our own legacy is surely within us all.
