During my last session with Lucy Day, I shared with her my current Big Question:

How do I make others feel welcome and comfortable in the art world when I so often feel unwelcome and uncomfortable?

As a working-class artist, as an artist who frequently works with vulnerable communities, it’s important to me that I make work that is relevant to people who are not entrenched in the world of contemporary art.

I’m not yet sure if the results of these polls from Twitter help or complicate the question.

  1. making reference to a timely bit of art news
  2. and admitting that in 2004 I accidentally ate part of an exhibition
