Q) The National Brain Appeal provide much-needed funds to support
The National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery and the UCL Queen Square
Institute of Neurology – together known as Queen Square. This is one of the
world’s leading centres for the diagnosis, treatment and care of patients with
neurological and neuromuscular conditions. These include stroke, multiple
sclerosis, brain cancer, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia. Have you or your loved ones ever
suffered with any of these things?
“My mother had dementia from quite a young age."
Q) What work(s) are you thinking of putting in the "Always On My Mind Part 2" exhibition?
"Maybe another posthumous portrait of my mother if I can make it good enough."
Q) When the critic Jerry Saltz was recently asked what it is he’s looking for in art he answered “A sense of necessity, someone working in their own voice, doing what they can’t not do.” Do you relate to his way of thinking and do you think your own work is something you just can’t not do?
"Yes, the only thing in my life about which there has never been any question."
The opening party for Always on my Mind Part 2 is Thursday 31st August 6pm till 9pm at Fitzrovia Gallery, 139 Whitfield Street W1T 5EN
