There was a wide range of music in your playlist. What songs do you listen to a lot lately?
I have been listening to Heaven by DJ Sammy on repeat lately―perfect for dancing around the studio. Music is absolutely indispensable in my life and creation.
Please tell us about your works introduced here, along with the reasons for choosing them.
All of these works occurred in some form during this year (2020), so I wanted to show them as a reminder of what’s happened, a sort of documentation of all the fluctuations. Ugly Plymouths was the last real in-person show I did before lockdown in February. Sadie Coles HQ recently did a pop-up iteration in London, which was cool to see it have another form, another life, months later. And the fact that people can (and are) still able to see art.
