The most radical and subversive thing I can say to you right now is: I Love You.To celebrate Valentine's Day, Stitt roamed the town centre with a placard upon which was written a proclamation of love. Badges with the words, "I love you" were also distributed to passers by.

There is a widespread view that we live in unsettling times full of apocalyptic messages. Certainly nothing lasts forever. Whether it's a mountain, a molehill, a distant star or the chocolate bar that has been lodged in the back seat of your parent's car since 1967, all things eventually fade and are no more.

As impermanent beings ourselves, we know and ungracefully accept this fact. One day, the end will come for our friends, our family, our neighbours, our tax auditors, and even for ourselves.

Yes, even the World itself will one day stop spinning on its familiar axis and its property value on the open market will plummet. With all this uncertainty surrounding us, in the words of the artist, "the most radical and subversive thing (he) can say to youright now is; I Love You."

Concerned with ideas of empathy, I Love You celebrates and explores one of the most fundamental and complex of human emotions.
