From a Distance
The artist and the studio
Welcome to Issue Three. For months we have been observing how many artists work in studios where geographic and personal distance is commonplace. Most of us are currently living and working in a similar manner.
Our new Viewing Room showcases artists who work from a distance.
Through a series of interviews and discussions, existing and newly-commissioned photography and film we shall introduce you, albeit briefly, to these artists’ different inspirations, influences and practices.
