In today’s world the notion of the ‘entirely original’ is not just an impossible position, but also an uninteresting one. At a time when both knowledge and experience goes through intense interbreeding with the virtual, culture will reproduce in exciting, hybrid ways. My work would probably be unique only by virtue of the fact that it does not remain rigid in pursuit of absolute originality and instead becomes a flexible processing field to engage with and disentangle the million signals that enter my system every day.Terms such as ‘local’ and ‘global’ are not absolute binaries any more. They can be used in academic discourse, but they hold little value, except perhaps as mere tools of description, while you are actually making work in the studio.
