THE only way I can describe Leigh Rowles is that she is pixie like.  Her eyes sparkle, her hands dance and she almost glides across the floor.  She tells me her first attempt at choreography was when she was eight years old.  She arranged a slow tap dance around Deep Purple.  I smiled knowingly – but at the time (and please tell me I am not the only one) thought slow tap and a heavy metal band sound was a little incongruous.  I had to google when I got home to find what she was really talking about.

PictureUnnatural History Series: echidna quills woven on fireline, by Mandy Gunn
By Liane Arno

A THIN naked man, with blue painted finger nails and a skin so white that it was almost luminescent sat before 16-year-old Mandy Gunn. He called everyone “Darling”. Mandy’s first life drawing class at the Bromley Art School was not what she had expected. She was to learn that the model was none other than Quentin Crisp who famously said that being a model in life drawing classes “was like being a civil servant except that you’re naked”.

PRIOR to meeting Bob Hickman I had met some amazing artists. In each instance I had tried to do a bit of research beforehand. I checked out Bob’s Facebook page and came across this, by Jasmine Kay Uy. I loved it because it was a representation of the sense of all the artists I had interviewed to this point. But in speaking with Bob, I exclaimed, “You’re the first artist I’ve met who can support themselves through their art”. ​
