So is one of the aims of this project to place the person who carries the bag in a lineage that includes these artists, the artists they’re referencing, and yourself? To place everyone within a network of connection?

You know, from the time that I was a young artist, the only thing I wanted to do was to participate. I wanted to be part of the group; I wanted to be part of the avant-garde with Picasso and Dalí and Picabia. And then as I learnt more and more about art history, I appreciated participating in a larger family group. I really am just enjoying celebrating humanity, enjoying a sense of family that we all have every day in our lives: from our family around us to the things and people that move us and inspire us.
