Which is your favourite type of music?
I can't pinpoint one specific type! What I listen to depends on so many things. The type of music I listen to defines what I'm feeling at the time. Music that really speaks to you is always attached to a specific time/place or memory. It evokes & has a deeper significance. I do tend to have playlists for moods though.. or sometimes a particular word or lyric springs to mind so I have to listen to the song. For playing violin and piano, I only have a classical repetoire.
Who is your favourite painter?
Vermeer & Gustav Klimt & Monet each of these have been inspirational in my presentation of a subject.
Vermeer's painting are for me beautiful studies of light, and tend to have subtle exuberance to them.
On the other hand Klimt's paintings are extravagantly exuberant but the underlined message was actually a stand against the fiercely beaurgois society at the time. His work is personal statement. Monet greatly inspired the way I paint & use colour. Sophie Calle's work fascinates me. Her work constantly questions and explores; wether herself or another subject, the voyeuristic theme of her projects I find intriguing & she documents beautifully. I always discover a little bit more about myself after studying her work!
Any plans you had back in the innocent good old days of 90's but not anymore?
I wanted to be a ballerina! Really, really, really... I still dream about it sometimes but I know its just a dream; I don't think I'm flexible enough these days. My mum gave me a choice: violin or ballet - in the end violin won, and I stuck to gymnastics. I think the thing with dancing is its another way of engaging with music & amp; I can never resist a good shake-up on the dance floor!
