The artist about his work

The Labour of Missing is always late and therefore is not a labor that wards off loss. Rather it begins where loss dwells and with it converses. The Labour of Missing keeps the labourer awake with the absent other, knowing all too well that in staying awake and in keeping the other awake, the other is not resurrected.”
