Inspiration can come from anywhere, a thought crosses my mind when i´m half way up a ladder working on something else entirely and i climb down and write a note to myself in my sketch book, or i watch the best circus performance in the world and wish to emulate something just a beautiful. On one invitation to an exhibition it was written, “talent borrows, shit copies and genius steals”. If we use this quote in relation to our inspiration and how we act upon it, even if we do try to copy, borrow or steal an idea, it would never come out the same because of the individual framework and the constraints each of us is working with, so always have a go. On the other hand its quite polite to acknowledge our sources.
