Provenance : collection privée “I was doing these big abstract paintings at the New York Studio School, which was all about the “still life”. [She called them “apples and pears.”] They weren't coming together so my tutor said, “I don't care what you look at but you have to work from something.”
I knew that I didn't want to do apples and pears, so I got out of the studio to see what
I wanted to work with. At that time, it was pop culture and you could get a life size cardboard cut-out of Batman, and so I set that up as a still life on the floor and realised that I had found my language.”
