put it straight out into the world, rather than try to sell it to someone first.
I was also very inspired by a lot of the AIDs activist stuff from the late 80s
and early 90s, stuff by ACT UP in particular. Also more recently, spending two
days taking pics of street art in Barcelona which made be decide it was time to
start putting stuff up again ( I stopped about ten years back).

Banksy, Barbara Kruger, Andy Goldsworthy, The Plug, Emka, Cisma, Gillian
Wearing, Keith Haring.
