Just recently I got asked whether I took the patterns I made in an installation back to the studio to keep on working on it. The answer is no, I don't. The only thing left of my installations is just piles of used tape and lots, and lots of photographs. The whole taping thing is about spatial awareness and bringing people more in touch with the environment they live in. To me the most important thing within the whole installation process is the installing itself. The taping is such an in the moment process. For instant with 'Unearthed' if I would have made it on an other day it would have been completely different due to people working on different locations. In this way my work is also related to time.
I do produce some studio work in the form of notes and sketches for possible installations. Also my section drawings and notes made while reading books I consider to be studio work. I actually do not spend a lot of time in one specific place, which I would call studio. My kind of art permits me to be out there, observing people and their interaction with their environment in a specific time frame.
