Dicky Graham 28 inches

What value do you think your art offers art?

I think on a surface level my work is about humour but mainly I dont think about that - I just like the creative process of making new things. I think that is the same for all artists and so maybe my "art" offers no value to art. But I suppose I also regard my artwork as a by-product of my playing around and so in that sense the value of my art is that it highlights the importance of play and how "art" is a very useful tool for enabling what i regard as an important practise in daily life.
