Watched the programme about David Hockney on iplayer yesterday whilst knotting the quilt together - called Imagine - Summer 2009. Really interesting to watch - he created a huge painting, which makes me want to increase the scale of my work too. I particularly liked a moment in the programme where he mentions how we all look at the same thing but with our own memory, and therefore we all see things slightly differently - I suppose because we all attach our own meaning to it. Well worth a watch - find it here...
