3 questions on inspiration with
David Hamilton
We're asking artists to choose one notable person, place and object that has inspired them in their journey so far. We're mapping inspiration at a scale never attempted before
Person
I guess David Hockneys work has inspired me the most.
Place
The most notable place has been my friends house in Scotland. I go there twice a year on holidays and this family have been the inspiration for some of my favourite paintings.
Object
The most notable object is my mobile phone. It is very useful for catching the odd serendipitous occurrence which I can then reference and reimagine while making a painting.
