Was very pleased to speak with Beatrice Gibson for @RecessedSpace
In her latest film, @beatricegibson explores dreamspace & its potential for inner escape. Conceived during the pandemic, "Dreaming Alcestis" explores confinement within the domestic environment & ideas of transformation, as Gibson tells @rochellerart: https://t.co/jzivJ63VM4

Loved reimagining Anne Hathaway for this brilliant anthology, and wonderful to be published alongside so many fantastic poets!
PREORDER (30.04.2022): For four centuries Anne Shakespeare, née Hathaway, has been in her famous husband’s shadow. It’s high time she had a book of her own. Today, on International Women's Day, we present an anthology of poems for Anne Hathaway. https://t.co/qCz9RdB92U

Wonderful review of Alice Neel: Hot Off The Griddle opening @BarbicanCentre tomorrow and lovely to see a small mention of the beautiful book I was so happy to work on @Prestel_pub
I wrote about Alice Neel ahead of the new bumper exhibition of her work @BarbicanCentre and spoke to Curator Eleanor Nairne about being “dangerously in love” with Neel and her paintings https://t.co/S8T74u83jj
