TENSE TEST
In 1984 I was interviewed by a critic of, and commentator on art. Some time later, the interviewer sent me a copy of the tape recorded material.
As I auditioned the tape I became aware of how my replies were being affected by the way the questions were cast, and by my own deep seated insecurities. This resulted in my replies often being grossly distorted versions of the truth.
I therefore subsequently made further tapes of self-interviews which attempted to 'put the record straight'.
The results of this process produced the materials from which Tense Test is made.
