Notes from artist talk:
- either need to subsidise work or sell lots of it – neither better than the other, just be honest to your artwork
- we walked under an eyelash sun
- calming
- ‘book size’
- interested in the size in relation to the hand
- guesso, like frescos, suck paint into the surface
- emphasises the ‘object-ness’ of the paintintg
- sitting in the borders of definitions
- passage across an eyelash
- domestic rituals
- text in work – live event (rather than a performance)
- tongues and mirrors in mercury – solo london show
- go deeper into ideas – gets weirder and more unexpected
- displaying paintings against a backdrop of coloured fabrics
- book called amalgam to accompany the show
- Breage church in Helston – frescoes
- the flatness of the image – revel in it
- two ‘unrelated’ texts alongside one another, interspersed
- text and sound alongside paintings
- butterbean curtain – making rain sounds
- daddy long legs embrace
- revisiting works ‘when emotion has gone from them’
- pilgrim hands – hands in paintings as well as the hand-sized earlier paintings
