Our Tuesday Talks invite artists to make a presentation about their ideas or practice, but to think beyond a curriculum vitae style presentation.

Artist statement
My working process:
Is open
Changes
Has gaps
Takes time
Doesn’t have glamorous interface
Involves other people (sometimes they are artists, often they are not)
Makes sense to me
Can be exciting
Can be exiting
Creates space for thinking, discussing, trying things out
Needs space
Is supported by coffee, walking and chocolate
May hurt
Has G.S.O.H.
Hates quick-fix solutions
Wouldn’t work without others
Is hard work (I like hard work)
Wants to be transparent (Not everything is for grabs, there are elements I don’t want to let go of or share)
Is in my head most of the time
Allows me to make time to read
Exists because I don’t want to only work with myself
Gives me better ideas
Helps me think new thoughts and meet new people who don’t think like me
Sometimes engages people in a way that they benefit from it
Is used in a way I don’t want it to be
Create problems
Needs money
Raises money
Makes money
Takes me outside of the studio
Creates waste
Is applied to places classed as ‘deprived’, ‘needy’, ‘poor’
Makes me look at where I live
Gives me multiple postcodes
Makes me wear many hats
Accommodates my fears
Makes me write
