My friend Charles Adrian interviewed me
for "Page One", his book show on London Fields radio. Sitting in his
top floor flat in Acton, and with me fuelled up on red wine, we talked about
fairy tales, silk painting and Giorgio Moroder. Charles recommended to me "Sexing the Cherry" by
Jeanette Winterson, an incredible book about a gigantic woman who lives by the
Thames with her thirty dogs. It's about fables, love and how the imagination
links us across time and space, and has already helped me see my practice in a new
light (thank you Charles). I brought
him "Not After Midnight", a typically gut churning Du Maurier short
story about the relationship between hobby artist and collector. I even got to choose the music, well at least the first and
last song (my current all-time favourites). In your face Desert Island Discs!
Check it out. And if you you wanna book,
Charles knows where to look. His show is great.
