I primarily make work because I want to see something new, that excites me visually. When I am in galleries and museums I often see work that feels like I have seen it before. Maybe its our obsession with movie sequels and reworking the styles of decades, I but I often despair of seeing something truly original.
Fashion looks to the past to get inspiration, as does cinema and this is not necessarily a bad thing especially when there is a new twist, but really another comment on our consumer culture by putting packaging, that once contained consumer goods onto canvas and presuming societal commentary, its too easy, dig deeper I say.
