and do you want your art to be a positive force in your viewers crescendo then in that sense voice-verified

You've talked about that sort of art as a kind of nutrition for our inner life. voice-verified

And that's part of that building, that kind of wanting life to get better for the viewer through the art, even if it's in small ways, even if it's in a subtle kind of revelation that one sees through the work. voice-verified

I'm sure it is. voice-verified

But then when you do meet like-minded people, when you do become part of a community of artists, therefore, it must be tremendously reassuring. voice-verified

And it seems to me you have benefited hugely that you have gained food for your inner life from those relationships, from those communities that you've been part of. voice-verified

it's voice-verified

One of the aspects of your work which I most enjoy is the kind of somewhat accidental, but they're not accidental elements of it. voice-verified

For instance, your work is about as good in terms of shadows as any work I've ever seen. voice-verified

I love the shadows role within the activation of the pieces and so on. voice-verified

Obviously, this is something you have nurtured in the sense that, you know, I think of the wire works, but also some of those works which use the sort of openness of frames and so on. voice-verified

You know, how carefully can you curate the shadow that appears from your work? voice-verified

Because, of course, you can deal with lighting. voice-verified

But, I mean, is there an active process when you hang your works, when you're making works in the studio, where you're thinking very directly about the shadows that are cast by them? voice-verified

Is it a very fundamental piece of the creation of the work? voice-verified

was, voice-verified

So what I'm detecting from that then is that in a way, your approach to your work is to be completely open to anything that could occur within it, to have precise materials, but to be open to what it suggests to you as much as what you suggest to it, in other words. voice-verified

Let's move on to the questions that we ask all our guests. voice-verified

Who was the first artist whose work you loved? voice-verified

Oh, wow. voice-verified
