Why do you make art?
I'm not quite sure - but am compelled to keep doing it.
Who do you make it for?
I'd say mainly for myself, and to a small group of friends that cheer me on, seeming to find value in what I do.
Do you have heroes? Is so, who, if not why not?
Many heros - Tom Friedman, Roni Horn, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Tino Sehgal, Isa Genzken, Franz West - they all have very different practices but its the sharpness of their visual vocabularies that I love. I believe that the ability to say something (or ask something) in an incisive gesture is the real gift.
Do you plan out a piece or do you wing it?
Both. I spend a lot of time thinking about an idea - to decide whether or not it's worth pursuing. But it's when I get my hands dirty in the studio that the real project starts to take shape.
How do you know when you are finished?
When I have run out of time.
What was the first exhibition/artwork you saw that blew your mind?
Photos of Nan Goldin in the late '90's in Amsterdam, before heroin chic became fashionable. I had never before seen work that was so honest, direct, tragic.
Name a recent exhibition that impressed you?
Tino Seghals work 'This is Progress' at the Guggenheim earlier this year.
If you could have any artwork in the world what would it be?
Roni Horn's Gold Field 1980–82
