6/ SUMMARY: JOURNEYING FORWARD Our day in the studio was the first step towards what hopes to develop into a longer term collaborative partnership. Linda’s response to the day had shown that she was happy to work with me in […]
For me, my work is a mirror of my life. That is certainly true of a lot of artists, in particular Tracey Emin whose work relates events from her life. I find it fascinating the way her contemporary Gillian Wearing-a […]
