Elle Decoration Russia because of it. I don’t know how vague that was. They saw<br />

the work on Flickr. They saw the photographs and got in contact, so Russia may<br />

be my place.<br />

22. Has being in the exhibition had any effect on your work?<br />

23. Has being in the exhibition had any effect on your thinking about<br />

creative disciplines?<br />

As everyone says; it allows time to reflect - to see a piece in its purity rather than<br />

bits and stages. I got very selfish and got a bit of a glow, because I like seeing my<br />

work when it’s finished and enjoy seeing the process. I like hearing the positive<br />

and negative comments and opinions from it. I don’t think it’ll change the work,<br />

but it might make me do more, quicker, but that’s all financial implications. I<br />

applied for the ‘Future Voices’ in craft thing, made up a new brief and sent the<br />

same photographs and that was perceived very well so far. That’ll be interesting<br />

because that’s taking this work into a craft environment, even though there are a<br />

hell of a lot of argument about what craft is at this point in time. I’m just trying<br />

to get these pieces out more. Let people see them and between disciplines, try to<br />

maybe put them into a predominantly digital exhibition, design it and just try to<br />

cover them…because at the end of the day this is in the middle and all this is<br />

happening round it, so… if I can get to do that.<br />

24. Would you be interested in being in another show of this kind?<br />

25. Would you be interested in future opportunities with Fast-uk?<br />

Definitely, because I think you guys are promoting something that’s very dear to<br />

my heart and no-one else is doing it, which is crazy. That exhibition could have<br />

easily held its own in London. It would have got a hell of a lot more press<br />

because of the location thing, but if you go to America that would get a different<br />

crowd, a different reaction. I think it’d still be very positive. It’s not been a<br />

negative experience for me, so any future pieces…I never do the same thing<br />

twice. If it was with you guys again I’d so something completely different.<br />

26. When did you first make use of computer technologies in your<br />

work?<br />

27. What formal training have you have had with computer<br />

technologies?<br />
