Won a turner prize
The idea of the relic - belonging to people that are dead
Tilde as herself in a glass case - sleeping 8 hours a day - relates to all of us living and breathing but subject is absent
Would rather call making art something else -puts you on an elevated point which it is not
Has become more extroverted in her life so has started exploring the outer world more
Tries to explain the materials I use without getting caught up in the bits that aren’t actually art
Duchamp - sabotage as huge inspiration
Naming her work changed the meaning of it it relation two the two lovers
Contemplates display ideas with Keith
Made ephemeral work that didn’t last as she didn’t want to invite commerce, but realised collectors are custodians of your work
“Being an artist is a political act, but I want to keep my politics light”
Too political a point closes down opportunities to develop othe world and invite conversation
Finds inspiration in the world around her
Feels comfortable in the role of an artist - feels she has always been an artist
