“This series of works was made immediately after I completed Dugout. As usual, when I finished a large body of work, I’m relieved and happy that it’s over, then tailspin into a deep depression because it’s gone. Trying to avoid the latter, I began reading, of all things, Samuel Beckett plays. Though often bleak, I also think his work can be very funny. During this same period, the Abu Ghraib torture story broke in the news. Voidville was a response to both Beckett and the nightmare going on in Iraq.”
