Jockum Nordström’s paintings often include characters
and places collaged together. When he was making
them, which do you imagine came first? The characters
or the places? Which would you draw first?
Emma Hart’s exhibition includes lots of sculptures of
tongues sticking out. What can it mean to stick out
your tongue?
Emma Hart’s exhibition reminds us that sometimes life
can be chaotic. In your world, which feels more like
normal life: a messy bedroom or a tidy bedroom?
What does that tell us about what we think is ‘normal’?
