Can you talk a bit about your core imagery? Bears are a strong theme in your work, along with a childlike quality. Are there any themes you are strongly attracted to?

I do end up adding bears here and there, not in any conscious way. I grew up around bears in Canada so bears represent some specific things to me. They are both cute and dangerous. When a bear attacks you it goes for your head, chewing at your kneck and skull. You are supposed to cover your head with your hands. Can you imagine getting your hands eaten by a bear as it tries to get to your head? Knowing this I still want to hug a bear when I see one. The childlike themes, yeah. Again, this is not a conscious thing. I think that the type of things I like to talk about in my work pushes me towards child-like imagery, or imagery that is quite friendly and unsophisticated. But that is the surface. What is important about what I do is that the images are separate from the ideas. The images are a tool of distraction, or bait, triggers. I am interested in imagery that is USEFUL, I want them so they can be transformed into ideas. So the imagery changes and develops over time but the ideas largely remain the same.

“This book is a small collection of some of the work I have done for Spike Jonze’s film adaptation of the book Where the Wild Things Are. I met Spike around 1998 and I have worked with him a lot over the years. This usually involved creating piles of work that amounted to a very small contribution to the project. This never bothered me, because it was an incredibly creative, fun and rewarding process that led up to the scrapping of my work”!

I noticed a difference when I began working on Where the Wild Things Are. For the first time I felt that Spike and I were working on a project where I could actually contribute in a significant way. Much less of what I was making was being thrown away, which was a first. I was given the opportunity to interpret not only Spike Jonze’s interpretation of Where the Wild Things Are, but also Maurice Sendak’s original book”.

Like any kid growing up in the 70’s I was greatly influenced by Mr. Sendak’s books. His books are not just on my bookshelf they are in my blood. What I did with the titles, type treatments and marketing graphics also owes greatly to the heavy creative lifting done by Sonny Gerasimowicz who designed the creatures in the film and the Art Direction of K.K. Barrett”.

The Geoff McFetridge “Recent Work” Book is available now from Nieves.
