I really like the idea of banality and repetition being used to generate the image, which are simple and unobstructed and not captivated by composition.
Doug AitkenOur culture is just too comfortable in creating these kind of divisions between culture.
Doug AitkenI think the idea of embracing the process, creating something, no matter how thin it is, that you can call a starting point - whether it's a word or it's an idea, or it's a little piece of narrative that you might base a film on - starting that journey of making the work. That's also something that every individual does very differently.
