'Highly considered and academic in his approach to working. Spray orders his artistic life into a series of focused and long running projects, each of which is deliberately restricted by a set of self imposed boundaries. This strikes me as rather like binding your own hands to draw out the most creative method of self liberation, and certainly setting so specific a conceptual bar to jump has lead to work that is worthy of serious and studied appreciation’
Mercedes Smith

Its silence I hear and obey
That I may lose my way
And Myself.
