Words with Spencer Lai


Spencer Lai, Modes, Installation view


Star sign: 
Gemini

What’s for breakfast:
Nothing, I usually skip and opt for a coffee. If I *have* to, eggs and salmon on toast, hollandaise...

Ideal day:
Museum in the rain, call with a friend as I fold clothes, drawing alone.

One record, one book, one film:
Silent Shout - The Knife; As I Lay Dying - William Faulkner; Safe (Todd Haynes, 1995)

Words to live by:
It is what it is.
