We know that we’re making something provocative and we are not shying away from that. That’s something I knew I was setting out to do from the beginning. I was never interested in making something puritanical. It’s okay if this show isn’t for everyone and that’s fine – I think all the best art is [polarizing].

I’m not scared of it. I think we live in a highly sexualized world. I think that’s an interesting thing to explore.”
