When is the Present

Will Ashon looks to David Hockney’s portrait “My Mother, Bolton Abbey”. The image is a joiner, a photo-collage, of Laura Hockney made in 1982. Ashon creates a collage of his own, interviewing ten women of different ages and rearranging their responses; the result is a celebratory chorus and homage to the thoughts and memories that flourish when we lend our attention to an artwork.
