Francis Alys I seriously love this artist - and I'm glad because loving a new artist means a new direction. Former influences include Simryn Gill, Wong Hoy Cheong and Elizabeth Presa. I'm restless with all this text stuff. Especially after checking out Simryn Gill's latest Pearls series. Very beautiful and intricate. But - it is not enough for me anymore. It's too hermetic and I am feeling desperate. I want dirt and grime, something off the streets, which is what Francis Alys talks about:

"No ivory tower allowed for the street will always beat your imagination... So, might as well stay on the street... "

Nice.
