TALKS ABOUT MY WORK – NPG (JUNE 2009)
June 20th, 2009
On Monday 15th – Wednesday 17th June I was invited to give a series of talks about my work in the National Portrait Gallery lecture theatre. I was slightly worried that my monotone West Midlands drawl would send everybody into a coma but they seemed to go fine – lots of questions at the end anyway which is usually a good sign.
I managed to talk for an hour each time but I guess when you’ve been working as a painter for about 16 years there’s plenty to talk about. Infact the hardest part was editing out rather than trying to fill the time. It was basically a talk about my wotk from my MA in 1992 to present day in sequence. I look mighty small on that stage up there.
