Final stretch* of completing this big new work for The Empire’s New Clothes @198_cal Brixton, London, opening this Friday 5 April. *can’t stretch enough working this way. Thanks @ruthaquinoesta for bonding times, bending over forwards assisting in rendering this monster. There are times during the drawing process I find it hard to enjoy the process, caught up in the stress of deadlines and usually in body pain, even when not working at this angle. Having people assist me who understand the work and live tangents of my experience is rejuvenating as well as physically important. It’s often emotionally necessary to build me up before showing the work on white walls where that understanding is less likely to be found. This time round however I’m showing in a space which has centred black and brown artists for decades. Feeling as grateful to that legacy as the @auscouncilarts @acme.art residency that brought me here. #workinprogress #ergonomicnightmare #drawingblood (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/textaqueen/p/BvuVj20Fuon/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s4plo4g0qecd
