“From the time I began making art, one body of work has continually led me to the next. I work in series, and the number of pieces in that series varies, from 5, to 30, or more. When I feel that the series is complete, or when I tire of working on it; I want to make a change. The change is generally one that I’ve been thinking about while I have been working on the current series, and that leads me to the next series. So while each series may seem different, the germ of the idea for each of them usually arises from the previous work." – Tom Hébert.
