Emma's answers are by audio lecture, Caroline's written.

These questions are really the questions to ask any artist, and to ask oneself at different stages in life and career.
Emma 's responses show the long evolution of ideas, and how much a practice can evolve into completely different media over time, whilst following the search to manifest ideas. she talks of the spiritual element in art, and of her desire to avoid the many clichés such art can involve. Emma really talks of the long game in art practice, where two long held elements, the abstract painting in acrylics, and the old master techniques in oils, will merge as both skill and conceptual understanding grow.

Caroline shows the complex and collaborative nature of contemporary art practice. Again, the long perspective, of building relationships with galleries and curators which takes years to bear fruit.

The next thing is to answer these questions myself.
