Are you interested in a kind of spiritual element to the work?

I don't mean religion, but I mean more like some sense of the soul in relation to nature.

If you look back to your RCA days, when you and Tracy were in the studio together, I'm just asking this as a friend of both of yours.

Can you really believe where you both are now?

You're showing your paintings now all over the world.

I saw you in Freeze Art Fair last October.

I walked past and was like, wow, David's in Freeze Art Fair.

It's wild.

You guys are really showing your work now.

And Tracy's obviously becoming more and more revered.

Do you think you ever would have imagined that in the 80s?

Yeah, yeah.

It is amazing how both Lucy and Tracy, how they've become these cultural... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's what I mean.

It's really amazing.

I was really struck by my major retrospective piece where it's all the paintings she would have made when she was in the studio with you probably and how they all got destroyed.

And now there's just pictures of them hand sewn onto bits of fabric and it becomes its own sort of conceptual artwork.

But that must be strange for you to see because you actually were painting next door to her.

Yeah.

Yeah, I always love spending Christmas with you guys.
