New Sugar Interview
What is your favourite project to date?
My number one tip is... Never eat the whole can of cashews.
My most effective method of getting new work is... Letting my unconscious mind take hold and direct my work. I find that once I’m able to open that area of my mind I can create on a deep personal level.
Inspiration and motivation? I find inspiration in music, emotions and the unconscious influences of my mind. When I began creating art a few years ago, I relied on my emotions and unconscious mind to guide and create my work. Depending on my mood I will create a piece in regards to a situation that has directly influenced my life or create work by letting my unconscious take the wheel. It wasn’t until recently that I’ve started to completely focus on creating work from my dreams. There’s something to be said about finding yourself through your dreams.
Who would you most like to collaborate with? Damien James and/or Joel Peter Witkin
Favourite biscuit? Yours!
Last time you made a total fool of yourself? A co-worker got annoyed by me and threw a big red marker at me. It hit me and fell on the floor. Then I proceeded to stomp on the marker until it broke and there was a puddle of red ink on the carpet. Unknowingly, I smeared ink all over the bottom of my shoe and I tracked red ink all over the floor in my office. I spent a good amount of time cleaning the carpet today at work.
Personal hygiene. Discuss. I don’t shower as often as I should, but I do brush my teeth a lot!
Favourite Pantone colour? Since I’m partially colour blind… I enjoy all the colours that I can actually see.
Before I die... I would like to be in a New Sugar magazine.
My dream house is... A loft space in a large city. Something big enough where I could create my work and live in comfortably. I would definitely like to live in Reykjavik for a few years. Iceland has the most beautiful countryside I’ve ever seen. It’s like being awake during a dream.
Meat? I’ll eat it but I won’t buy it or cook it… I hate the way raw meat looks and feels. So I’m practically a vegetarian.
The position of your underground bunker please... My momma’s house!! I love my momma!!
This is fun, but it might kill you... Drinking booze everyday.
Cup of tea? Yes please, do you have green? Hey that’s not loose leaf!! |
