“Are there particular motivations behind your use of the colour pink?”

Not really. Maybe there is on a subconscious level for sure. Depends on how deep you wanna go with it?

“What do you associate with the colour pink when you apply it to your practice?”

On a basic level. It often softens a painting. On a deeper level – depends on how deep you wanna go – How long you got? I was brought up by women. Women have taught me everything I know in life. Everything. I’ve learned nothing from men. If Pink is to be seen as a feminine colour, then it’s obvious I would use it.

“Do you agree that in art the shade pink can be used as a tool to subvert and distort its traditional cultural associations?”

I don’t know.
