Such a treat to spend time with Eileen Cooper in her studio. We met at Seeing Each:Other Portraits of Artists at Pallant House Gallery, when we both had work in the exhibition and i decided to make a ripple from the show by making new portraits of some of the artists i’d met at the opening. Such a wonderful afternoon and insightful conversation. It very much reminded me of the adrenalin i used to leave after all the Hackney Studios sessions. Always a thrill to speak to other artists to hear what motivates them aswell as hot tips on to survive this precarious life choice.
