Kuksi’s art speaks of a timelessness–potentiality and motion attempting to reach on forever, and yet pessimistically delayed; forced into the stillness of death and eternal sleep. He treats morbidity with a sympathetic touch and symbolizes the paradox of the death of the individual by objective personification of death. There is a fear of this consciousness because it drops in upon us without mercy, and yet there is a need to appeal to it in order to provide a sense of security, however deluded that sense may be. Kuksi’s art warns us that this appeal is irrelevant, and that we should be slow to create a need for it. His themes also teach us that although death may pursue us arbitrarily, we should never neglect to mourn the tremendous loss of individual potential.

"The subjective reality of my is a je ne sais quoi, a deja vu, a persistence of memory that will strike me at the oddest moments. It is the sensation that is familiar, and environment and situation that were until that moment familiar or real, but now unfamiliar or unreal. The moment is surreal."

"It is in that moment that we experience illumination, or if it eludes us, a nightmare."

"All living things are an emanation of spirit manifest in matter. When we can see with eyes unclouded, unprejudiced, we can reach the Copernican realisation that while we are the centre of our (own) universe, we are not the centre of the Universe. In placing our ego in correct proportion we will realise that beauty, spirit, is manifest in many forms, and that every living thing is due respect." - Leo Plaw
