WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT I WOULD BE SURPRISED TO FIND IN YOUR SPACE?
Depending on how well you know me – a hammock. I find it so much better than a couch for resting in and surveying my work.

DESCRIBE YOUR IDEAL WORKSPACE IN THREE WORDS…
Light, Air, Secluded.

FAVOURITE SONG/BAND WHILE WORKING?
Recently Nils Frahm and I tend to play a Beats in Space or Boiler Room mix until I can’t listen to it again.

WHAT’S THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN AND FROM WHOM?
There’s been many snippets that I have pick up along the way which I use to guide myself. In particular I remember an interview with Patti Smith where she said something along the lines of “what matters is the work, that you do good work, nothing else matters” I was lucky enough to attending a reading she gave under the Brooklyn Bridge a couple of years later where she reiterated the same thing. And it’s true in the end that is all that really matters. She became my studio patron saint at that point, I always have the quote on my wall.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST IMPORTANT ARTIST’S TOOL?
My imagination

HOW DOES THE CITY IN WHICH YOU LIVE INSPIRE YOU?
I love being in New York because so many of the people here are very driven in what they do and I like to be around that energy. Everyone is doing something different and is usually really excited to share with you what they are doing. If i am ever feeling like I need to be inspired I can go into any number of amazing museums and galleries. Just walking the streets here makes you feel small like one tiny light in a sky full of stars. It’s humbling and invigorating. I love knowing that so many things are going on about me all at once.

IF YOU WEREN’T WORKING AS AN ARTIST TODAY, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE DOING?
I would definitely be working in some kind of wild animal refuge / rehabilitation centre. Perhaps in the jungles of Borneo – I still might go and do that if I ever get sick of the art world.
