Have some time to yourself. Question everything. Document, accumulate, rearrange, reconstruct and replicate. This is a place saturated with answers, so it is important to look again at the most ordinary of things. Be curious and find curiosity. Keep things simple and shoot for a satisfying economy. Work with optimism, play ambitiously, tinker with senseless futility. Do not be too disheartened when it falls short of expectation. Aim for orbit and design so.
Exploit the object’s apparent purpose, allude to its falseness and accept its temporality.
Fabricate authenticity, authenticate the fanciful, blur the line.
Art school is talking. No knocks no bangs.
