What is your project about?
The feeling of being constantly watched wherever you go by humans and animals alike.
Who influenced you?
Sophie Calle was my main influence.
How did she influence you?
She stalked people, taking photos of them and created an identity
from that. It’s the stalking part that interested me the most.
Did you try anything you haven’t tried before?
I don’t usually include a lot of photography in my work.
Hopefully I can also use a CCTV camera in my work.
Is there anything you’d do differently?
I’d definitely do more drawing, and manage time better. I’d
also try to involve the public more, instead of just friends and people I know.
Is the work different to stuff you usually do?
Yes, definitely.
In what way?
In the past I’ve focused on emotions, and used different
mediums – more 2D based mediums. Whereas this project is more sculptural.
What challenges did you face while working in these new ways?
I had to learn how to cast faces, but I picked it up pretty
quickly. The main difficulty was finding people who were willing to be cast.
Is everything on track? Do you think everything will go to plan in the
end?
Yes, I’m quite hopeful it will be successful.
