What images keep you company in the space where you work?
Many come and go, but for the last couple years I have had a film still of Addie Pray (played by Tatum O’Neal in the film Paper Moon, 1973) in my studio. I think I originally picked it up because I thought Tatum O’Neal was such an interesting figure; she was not an actor but learnt to act on the set and starred with her real-life father. I think her resoluteness in this image also interested me. She stands there with all her belongings, which don’t amount to much. Although the still is in colour, the film is exquisitely shot in black and white.
What is art for?
To make you think and see differently.
