“I have just completed an ambitious virtual exhibition at a UK museum that is still on; but with Alien II I wanted to land a massive physical entity to express our re-entry into the real world and nothing could be more real and physical than a twelve foot sculpture. The subject of an Alien is not only an extraterrestrial, but anyone who feels alienated from a place or society. I like the idea of impressing that thought upon one of the most luxurious venues in the world, Mayfair.”
