10:45 "I have faith in my painting more than myself. There will come moments when each of them becomes interesting. I'm just here to listen to their stories."
Anthony Banks(@4nthony8anks) an artist based in East London, emphasises artwork itself is more important than the artist's daily life.
"My process
is deliberately kind of slow non-direct. I was listening to a lot of, like podcasts and documentaries on like the war repairing sort of community is like post-war. I was very interested
in this idea of kind of repairing. To repair something rather than replace it
, to not give up on it, to see, to see the value in something,
whether kind of culturally or to the people
that live around something instead of destroying something,
obliterates it. I'm completely starting again to add
to it, to add to its history narrative."
