Andrew Lister - Exhibition

Part of the conversation between Andrew Lister and Kirsty Young taken from Desert Island Discs broadcast recently on Radio 4. 

K.Y. The work makes use of a variety of images. There are references to well known paintings and press images. Is this where you start – by making a choice of image? 

A.L. No. The image is important but the starting point is usually more formal. It is usually a response to materials. 

K.Y. Yes you do use a variety of materials. Why is this? 

A.L. They intrigue me … how they combine, how they work in the making of an image and especially how they relate to it.
