I created my original LOVE series in an attempt to visualise the 'I Love it / I Hate it' reaction many of us have when seeing a work of art for the first time.
That original series got interpreted as a work akin to Robert Indiana's LOVE from 1965—I sold loads around Valentine's Day—I intended something quite different.
This work is an evolution of that idea. I tried to create this piece as if in a fit of anger—almost crossing out the word at the same time as writing it.
