Phyllida Barlow (B. 1944)

‘Drawing is a constant process of erosion... It is often about remembering things I have seen and putting them down, almost in a diagrammatic way, where I am relying, to some extent, on information getting lost. So the remembered thing becomes more important than the attempt of trying to replicate it as it was…It has to do with memory and the loss of an original experience’
