Had a lovely day on the LV21 Lightship on Gillingham pier making paper boats with visitors. Mostly people I know and haven’t seen for ages so it was a day of conversation and making.
i was listening to Radio 4 on the way back, writers talking about what questions they hated/liked and how to answer them. One writer said that what he most wanted people to ask were questions triggered by what he’d written but not about the book or writing it per se, e.g. what political views he had and how that linked to his work. I think this applies to visual art too – the conversations that arise in response can be so exciting, moving, inspiring, thought-provoking.
