you know i can i can push them forward in the studio and if i really mess them up then they go back up to wales again really yeah so how do you make a choice to like pick which ones you would bring down because i heard you have like a yeah there's a few local museums and there's a shipper that comes up and he'll sometimes or they will sometimes bring different paintings down but you're only bringing a few at a time so i brought six i'm bringing six six are arriving on monday large ones and

And it's surprising what you think looks really good and finished in Wales when they come into London.

It's different.

Some you think, oh, no, that's not very good.

Look amazing.

Others that you've brought in, which is, yes, I've nailed it.

That's it.

And they come into London.

It's like, no, we need to do more to that.

So then I invent, I then work on them down here.

And finish them down here.

But if I really mess up or I still don't feel that they're absolutely coherent, then I'll send them back.

I'll bring them back up to Wales again.

I then have mid-sized paintings which fit in the car.

So they come with me all the time.

They go back and forth.

Back and forth.

So it doesn't feel like I've got a split personality.

I've got a continuum.

I've just driven back from Wales where here they are now.
