interviews Stella
Where did you grow up?
Alnwick in Northumberland & Norwich.
Is there a new Girly sensibility in Art?
That’s a tricky one, it’s not something I would really
like to pin down. I am really inspired by how it evolves, especially
in Karen Kilimnik, Elizabeth Peyton,& Sophie Von Hellermann
& I loved Matt Collishaw’s recent show at Modern Art. His
epic Magdalena got me on so many levels.

Boty, Charlotte & Emily Bronte, Dolly & Jemima Brown, Lewis

Von Hellermann, Francis Upritchard, Andy Warhol.
Is it important or irrelevant for women artists to engage with the
art world on a political level?
It’s not something I actively think about.
Is your work particularly female or feminine?
I don’t think so.
Do you think little girls are made of sugar and spice and all
things nice? Yes
