I have been using the computer as a work aid since the mid-90's. It is extraordinarily well suited to how I think and work and has transformed my practice. Nearly everything I have done in the past 15 years would have been impossible without it. I use the computer for drawing, composing and colour planning everything, from postage stamps to paintings to architectural-scale installations.

When I look at the objects that I draw, it seems to me so obvious about the contemporary world - these are our world.

I think that cultural influence is very deep, it is not on the surface and this is true in every culture.

The viewer brings all additional information to the image.

When I go to China I see many artists whose work reflects on aspects of contemporary popular culture but obviously the history of Western art is not part of their own tradition.

I thought the objects we value least because they were ubiquitous were actually the most extraordinary.

The art world, of all worlds, has room for everyone.
