I feel sad.

I met an acquaintance today.
He is a good artist.
I have to admit I love his work.
I first saw his work in SAM...
A slide show of food he ate while he is studying overseas.
My work in glasgow is similar...but more general...
And should I say...with my personal touch...
I like to keep paper trash...and daily stuff...
I love his work...
But I feel sad.
Because he had done all the stuff that I wanted to do BEFORE I CAN DO MINE.
One of his works...
Unpacking London...
as he was unpacking and documenting this he send back from london...
I felt likel...being overtaken by a fast car on an expressway...
I actually wanted to do mine...which was...erm...TOO LATE.
Sometimes in art...first come first serve is important.
When u are slower ....you are copying.
But still I love his work.
Nevertheless.

Maybe we share a lot of similar sentiments.
Maybe he will like my work too.
