Usually my ideas for work have revolved around my interest in people, especially people that live on the edges of society.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most of my ideas come from drawing patterns across conversations I have with different types of people - technology investors, young fashion design students, a CEO. This variety is stimulating and offers many different perspectives on the things I am thinking about.
Look around at day-to-day life for ideas, and it finds its way into your work.
I love working with other people and bouncing ideas off them.
But what does interest me is the notion that if you do a lot of work it means there's a potential for other people to understand that a lot of things are possible with a sustained effort and that the broadening of experiences is possible and I think that's all art can be.
I'm always working on concepts and ideas for the future.
I think of my own work as part of a decades-long conversation about books and reading with people I will mainly never meet.
I also hope that I am occasionally involved in projects that touch other people in ways that make their lives a little better, more interesting for the moment that makes them think.
My work has social implications, it functions in a social arena.
If you're passionate about your work, it makes the people around you want to be involved too.
At the root of everything I do is a fascination with ideas - what ideas are for, what jobs they do.
