'I was thinking about what the paintings would look like when there was nobody in the gallery to see them. I think there is a feeling of life. I have managed to do that.'
In this episode, the artist sits down with Ben Luke to discuss the influences and cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Their conversation touches on the relationship between portraiture and landscape painting; El Greco and Tintoretto; the writing of Anne Carson; and the new works in her exhibition Colony of Ghosts, currently on view at Victoria Miro.
