“A year on from Implied Statement and I was asked to give a talk on video at the Tate Gallery, I decided to make a new piece to accompany this talk but found myself bereft of ideas. Nevertheless I had time booked in a colour studio and somewhat in desperation I decided to remake Implied Statement trying to eliminate what I saw were flaws in the original. while Implied Statement II does not constitute a significant advance from the first version it went a bit more smoothly and provides, I think, an alternative take.” Mick Hartney, March 2008
