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?
Were you immediately established as a sculptor?
Do you still have to do other work?
I currently work as a freelance video operator for the BBC but, as I gradually make a name for myself, I will be able to devote more time to my own work. Also, I have just been awarded an artistic fellowship funded through NESTA (a national body which uses lottery money to develop innovations in science, technology and the arts) which will support me over the next three years and will really change my life. I'll have the time to work and I can afford the equipment and materials I need. It's a fantastic time for me at the moment and I'm really looking forward to the future.
So obviously you do look forward to work every day?
