This was an affirmation for me that I was doing positive stuff. It was changing perceptions of what people thought I could do, and also changed my perception of myself.
– Alec, about his Stratford Olympic Park installation
As well as discussing the influence of his adolescent life on his practice and how it has become a reocurring theme in his work, Alec talked about how restlessness has been a constant in his career, but how it's allowed him to experiment with new methods of work, for example exploring sculpture and jewellery.
