STUDIO CONVERSATION WITH STUDIO HOLDER JULIANA CAPES

A lot of my work is on the cusp between something that’s so beautiful and so wonderful, but also maybe disgusting or wrong.

Studio Conversation with ESW studio holder Hans K Clausen

For me, objects and stories are inseparable, everything has a narrative and I think my job as an artist is to find a platform, an audience, and the purpose for sharing that in an exciting and engaging way.

Studio Conversation with ESW studio holder Fiona McLachlan Powell

I’ve always been interested in the spaces between things, the liminal spaces, spaces between the fields and roads. There’s no real purpose for them but they’re developing their own purpose, and their scale was quite good – a short distance that  is manageable to move around.

Studio Conversation with Jamie King

I have to say, my painting… I’m not very happy with it. It doesn’t bring me much joy at all. Whereas on the other hand, I find making sculptures very enjoyable. It’s a good thing to do, to engage your brain with even measuring and cutting and the whole process. I think that is very satisfying. 

Studio conversation with Kat Cutler-Mackenzie and Ben Caro

We definitely treat our practice as research. In fact, we’re particularly interested in artistic approaches to art history.

Studio conversation with studio holder Aurélien Froment

I work with large quantities of material, texts and images. I am going through many stages to process that, to select and choose and to make. The computer screen is too small to see more than two images at the same time, this is why there is that big magnetic wall here, an extension of the screen, my playground.

Studio conversation with studio holder Emma Hislop

The landscape really inspires me and how mystical it feels. The way the wind blows, you always get a sense that there’s something else. It’s the unseen that inspires me.
