In loving memory of artist Phyllida Barlow (1944 – 2023) A remarkably original, powerful and generous artist, Barlow singularly redefined a language of sculpture and consistently shattered conventions, challenging old notions of monumentality and of beauty

Shame to hear Camisa is closing. Soho investors and Westminster is very happy to use these businesses when it suits them - to add ‘vibe’ to premium development brochures - but does nothing to sustain them. I call for zero rates for all 25+yr independents. Least they could do.

Have to be honest, if you told me I would finally get to the UK for research only for the British Library to catch fire on day one, don’t think I would have believed you and yet, here we are…

I am missing meeting new people. I live in London because I like a steady diet of strangers as well as my friends. Some weeks I feel quite cosy and hunkered down and other weeks I want to be in the fray once more. How you doing? #lockdown

Sometimes I feel like we’re all being given ‘the public school experience’. The language, the gestures, the sports references, the general rip-roaring, raring to go enthusiasm. Feels infantilising and tone deaf to me. Am I alone?
