From a Distance
The artist and the studio
Welcome to Issue Five. As the pace of the world continues to change and we start to see an easing of some of the restrictions we have lived with over previous weeks, we add to our series of online presentations about our artists, their practice and wonderful works of art.
Through a selection of especially commissioned photography and editorial content, we endeavour to offer you rare glimpses into the studios of our artists, working across the world.
We hope the content here is cause for inspiration and uplift as we recognise the opportunities space provides for concentration and creativity.
