Specialist note

I had done a painting called 'Dancing to Whitney' about two years ago. I was imagining that the characters in the painting were dancing to this song, 'How Will I Know?' When we decided to do this show, we took this title because, not only was it a song that I really like dancing to, but it also had a deeper resonance, thinking about the future.
