V: If you had potentially no financial, place or time limits, what sort of « ultimate piece » would like to create? J.S: I actually admire the financial limitations of creating work, and often my works are produced on little or no money. I believe this gives the work more presence and interest. So many things are built and created already with huge budgets and price tags that they’re immediately unattainable to the public which is, in a way, unfortunately elitist. The ultimate work for me would be the product of a successful design collective as a working company that took on projects to inspire and serve a community through design.

V: What do you think of the art world? Do you consider it as creative, motivating, or on the contrary, lazy and conventional? J.S: I’m very much interested in the art world as a whole and how it continues to exists as its own sub sect of financial independence, especially in the economic climate we’re currently in. One certainly doesn’t have to own a multimillion dollar work to be inspired by it. In this capitalist environment unfortunately I feel important works are measured only by how much they sell for, and while this is interesting, I’m more interested in how a work makes me feel or challenges my perceptions versus how much it crosses the auction block for. V: And as a conclusion, can you tell us a little bit about your current projects? J.S: I’m continually working on mixed media project that end up as digital prints which are available through the Saatchi Online gallery. A few of the works have been chosen and will be presented through http://www.gilt. com in early September. I’m also in the works with a small gallery in Chicago for an upcoming presentation to include some of my newer works. Day to day the work exists and evolves through continual photographs, small mixed media works, and finding inspiration and how to transform these things into something that exists outside of myself to be presented as art to the viewing public as a whole, I guess to those who may seek it.
