Interview with Simon Tegala, sculptor Age 27, comes from London

How important is what you do to you?
What are you working on at the moment?
Did you always want to be an artist?
But you did go to art school?
What was your degree like?
What happened then?
I worked hard at Goldsmiths for three years and then, because my work is so big and therefore expensive in terms of materials, I needed to get commercial sponsors for my final show. I actually got four companies involved. Then I managed to sell my work and I got a show and a gallery deal straight away.
Were you immediately established as a sculptor?
Do you still have to do other work?
So obviously you do look forward to work every day?
