Finley (in conversation with Katy Deepwell):
"... The central idea is ´LIVING´. Life is more important than
art but life is meaningless without art. I use many mediums in my work.
I get an idea and just try to get going. I´ve put together an anthology
of erotica, I´ve worked as a journalist, on plays, created installations
and books as well as visual artworks. I have created music, dance music with
sinead O´Connor and S-Express used my voice in their song. I am interested
now in making a film...I want art to become a community art work, experienced
by everyone, rather it beeing just a valuable object to look at which the average
person will never be able to afford and sometimes is made to feel that they
are not able to understand unless they are in the know about contemporary art..."
It's
