Help me understand 過去の蓄積 and 面白いと思ってきたもの


How do you interpret this? This is an artist talking:

> 一番気にしているのはやっぱり **過去の蓄積** 、自分が面白いと思ってきたものでしょうね。 **おもしろいと思ってきたもの**
> には一貫性はあるんですよ、人間の癖がありますからね。だから、昔おもしろいと思ったものを、自分というフィルターを通してもう一回具現化したい、それが今の願望なのかもしれない。

I guess I have two main questions:

  1. What exactly is being 蓄積ed -- 過去 or おもしろいと思ってきたもの
  2. When you read this, do you understand おもしろいと思ってきたもの as referring to things _he himself_ has done in the past, or just anything in general that he liked?




  1. 蓄積 here is a _noun_ which literally means 'accumulation' but actually means '(accumulated) experience' in this context. 過去の蓄積 means "what I have accumulated", or simply "experience in the past".

  2. It depends on his career. If he is a young creator, this should mainly refer to what he has seen as a consumer. If he is a veteran creator who is trying to challenge something new, it probably refers to what he has done as a creator, too.
