I created my own space, which was called the cave. It was a live/work space in downtown Los Angeles on 7th and Spring. When I lived there it was quite derelict. I got this massive space and half of it was my bedroom and the other half of it was the back room - no [natural] light, all fluorescent lights.

I tend to stay in one place and become a hermit and not leave. Work, work, work, and collect things, create and curate a space.

Nowadays anyone can show their art to anybody via the Internet.

When I get into a zone, I obsess and I don't care about anything else. I have to make the work.

Whatever social network that comes along, whether it be Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, whatever it is, I'll use it in a creative sense to push the vision and explore the possibilities of the relationship between humans and technology.

I have people who come up to me and say, 'Oh, seeing your work in my little home town in the middle of nowhere on the internet inspired me to move to London, or New York and pursue a creative career.' It makes me quite emotional.

I use Instagram as an online gallery to display my work. For me, it's almost more important to exist online than it is in real life.
