architecture that truly inspires you in your daily work?”

“When Wooster Collective contacted me and asked to write about the one
work of art that inspires me the most I did consider trying to argue that DJ
Shadow’s “Entroducing” album should be considered a work of art…but in the end
I decided i’d bare my soul to all you random people on the net and share my
favourite place in London / work of art with you lot:

The Seagram
Murals by Mark Rothko at the Tate Modern. (Bet you didn’t see that one coming -
thought I was gonna say something flippant like Playboy magazine didn’t ya?) The
story behind the paintings and how they came to be in the Tate Modern is a long
and complicated one that I wont go into here, but basically whenever im feeling
lost or uninspired I sit quietly in the Rothko room and just try to take it all
in. - Without trying to sound all pseudo spiritual and hippy-like its probably
one of the few pieces of art in a gallery that I can sit in front of and gain a
real sense of the emotion that went into making the work.

You are
surrounded on all sides by giant canvasses in deep shades of red - it’s like
being in a sort of womb like space, but you can go from feeling secure and
comfortable one second to claustrophobic and paranoid the next. I sit in the
room surrounded by these giant panels of colour looming over me until ive
figured out whatever it was that was bugging me - ive never left without feeling
inspired to go and create something.”
