Notes from talk:

  • early career change from wanting to be a doctor to an artist
  • travelled a lot – allowed thinking space
  • drawings – embracing the simplicity of these
  • layering work
  • arrived at film-making only when she wanted to – no film-making experience but first commission was for entire Newlyn Art Gallery
  • strepitus crepitus fragor – snap crackle and pop in Latin
  • show at Kestle Barton
    • filming out of studio window
    • using people disappearing between window panes
    • slow unraveling of time and place
  • London Review of Books – cover designs
    • paintings limited to the size of the front cover – nice to have restrictions
    • widely circulated image
  • interventions into photographic imagery
  • Groundworks CAST
  • cars (watch)
  • doom, theft and other stories (watch)
  • the rhyme of the ancient mariner – poem
  • Ella Frears – daughter and poet – collaboration
  • break me gently
  • men falling – riso publication – categories of falls, finding order in things that don’t have order e.g. grief
  • Katie Ruff
  • Ray Exworth *
  • thanks for the apples
  • working with ephemera/in nature the only way to work environmentally?
