Considering Art Podcast – Joanna Whittle, landscape artist

Joanna Whittle is a multi-prize winning landscape artist regarded by some as the greatest painter of her generation. In this episode, she talks about the influences of a childhood spent abroad, her attraction to tents and fairground structures and what they mean conceptually and metaphorically, the dualities in her paintings, the lack of planning in her process, the uncanny nature of her work, her love of loneliness as an artist, her attraction to shrines, why she paints small-scale, and about the Heavy Water Collective she co-founded.
