1.If you weren’t an artist, what else would you be?
I would be making music, but I guess that’s still an artist.
2. Can you tell us more about your work and what are the main ideas you would like to express?
I mostly work with pencil. Recently I’ve also been casting concrete and working with varnish for a forthcoming solo exhibition. My current practice is influenced by time theory, and the recurrent themes of mortality, spirituality, Anthropocene and the apocalyptic.
3. How do you start the process of making work?
I’ll sketch out ideas, once I have an image in mind I’ll take / find photographs and build compositions in Photoshop or Maya.

4. Do you consider the viewer, when making your work?
I think about how I’d like to see the work.
5. Name 3 artists that have inspired your work?
Paul Noble, Alexander McQueen, Philip Glass.
6. What is your favourite ‘ism’?
Minimalism.
7. If Moma and the Tate and the Pompidou wanted to acquire one of your works each, which would you want them to have?
The good ones.
8. What’s next for you?
I have a solo show coming up at 18 Hewett Street, Shoreditch. It’s called Block Universe and opens 27 September. www.gregeason.com
