A Giant Pasty

Meg!  What do you mean? we are each made up of a giant pastiche of archetypes and repetitions of things that have gone before.  To deny that is surely to deny yourself?  (Or do I misunderstand...?)  

Even in making work, nothing, NOTHING is original but something begged borrowed stolen yoked together with something else. THis makes me wonder if the process rather than the product is something that perhaps can be original.

But why do we have to strive so hard to be original and new and surprising anyway... what if we went back to one piece of work that we agreed upon - I dunno say our favourite thing that we've submitted so far an tried to recreate without too much reference to it.
what would happen then?
